Zizek…
Villa Diamante in Norway on their currently on going Europ tour
Ok, so my mate Cheers Chris from Mirage Disco Crew fame turned me on to this dude called Villa Diamante, he is part of a network around a club in Buenos Aires called Zizek doing this pretty new thing, at least for us westerners, that they call Cumbia, or Digi Cumbia. And i for one think this is pretty sweet, it might just be the next big thing, im thinking late spring yall are gonna “stuffa” to this in your favorite club.
Villa Diamante – Plastilina Mosh vs. Mike Jones
And as were doing a little research i fell over a couple of other tracks, one more of these Cumbia tracks and what you are used to hearing out of south america by now as well, slightly more laidback tho. enjoy.
Cumbia is not totally new to North America. It gained popularity with Baile Funk and has always been it’s less popular sister. Bersa Disco in SF hold regular Cumbia parties, and there are a number of experimental Cumbia artists in the US. Thanks for the post!
this is dope
Darn – I was in BA a few days ago – Why didn’t you post this while I was there Leo ;o)
i totally dig the bersa disco …
especially the 3rd one with those trax by chancha via circuito, they are so dope, so slow, so cosmic, so intense. would love to see that stuff go big !
cheers c.
Well, you are in luck, Chancha via Circuito just sent me his album n we will publish a sneak-a-peak here on winnie cooper on monday. And as im sure you know by now, any thing that gets published via winniecooper.net always gets big.
Hey, you should do some homework…
Peep this…

Read the article attached for good insight on what the scene is like and peep the top-choice mix. I grew up listening to this stuff in South Texas which is a different incarnation but still prevalent there.
