New Chilean Cumbia
The New Chilean Cumbia also known as New Chilean Cumbia Rock (Spanish: ''Nueva cumbia chilena'', ''Nueva cumbia rock chilena'') is a subgenre of cumbia music that originated in Chile in the early 2000s and that largely surfaced in mainstream media in 2009 and 2010. In contrast to older cumbias the lyrics of New Chilean Cumbia deals more with urban life and combines aspects of rock, hip hop and a wide variety of Latin American genres like Andean music, salsa, the son, reggae, boleros, ska, Latin-African music, diablada and even folklore from the Balkans, like the Klezmer, and Gipsy music. While the movement has various influences its roots lie in the Chilean cumbia tradition established by Orquesta Huambaly, Giolito y su Combo, Orquesta Cubanacán, La Sonora Palacios and Sonora de Tommy Rey, but in contrast to these bands the New Chilean Cumbia is aimed towards a younger public. The New Chilean Cumbia public comes often from the middle classes. The movement has been cont ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cumbia Villera
Cumbia villera ( or ) (roughly translated as " slum cumbia", "ghetto cumbia", or " shantytown cumbia") is a subgenre of cumbia music originating in Argentina in the late 1990s and popularized all over Latin America and Latin communities abroad. Lyrically, cumbia villera uses the vocabulary of the marginal and lower classes, like the Argentine ''lunfardo'' and ''lenguaje tumbero'' ("gangster language" or "thug language"), and deals with themes such as the everyday life in the '' villas miseria'' (slums), poverty and misery, the use of hard drugs, promiscuity and/or prostitution, nights out at ''boliches'' (discos and clubs) that play cumbia and other tropical music genres (such as the emblematic ''Tropitango'' venue in Pacheco), the football culture of the barra bravas, delinquency and clashes with the police and other forms of authority, antipathy towards politicians, and authenticity in being true ''villeros'' (inhabitants of the ''villas''). Musically, cumbia villera bases it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

La Mano Ajena
La Mano Ajena is a Chilean band founded in 2002 that mixes rhythms from Eastern Europe, Latin America, France and Russia, blending all these sounds in a pastiche that also unites the tendencies of each member of the band: rock, punk, Latin American folklore and theater music. This musical project is unique in Chile, and its hybrid sound has been called "klezmer a la chilena" by press. Its first references were Jazz manouche, Klezmer, Balkan and Gypsy music, rhythms to which later they would incorporate Latin influences like Cumbia, Mambo, Cha-cha-cha, Tango and Rumba; creating a cosmopolitan sonority. From its beginning, the band was a precursor in spreading the Gypsy, Balkan and Klezmer rhythms in Chilean stages; and today, after almost a decade, they are one of the most important and celebrated bands from the so-called “new culture of musical carnival” that has taken place in Chile in the last years. La Mano Ajena has played in many stages abroad and inside of Chile, in cou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Juana Fe
Juana Fe is a Chilean musical band that mixes popular Latin American rhythms such as salsa and cumbia with Jamaican ska. Alongside other New Chilean Cumbia bands such as La Mano Ajena, Tizana and Chico Trujillo, they form part of the new wave of Latin American fusion that became popular in the first decade of the 21st century. Juana Fe’s music is influenced by urban life and the political and social environment in Chile. History Juana Fe was formed in 2004 when fellow university students Juan Ayala, Jaime Concha and Gonzalo Ibáñez decided to dedicate themselves completely to music, living communally in a house in Barrio Brasil, and paying rent by selling soy hamburgers on the university circuit. They were soon joined by percussionists and Rodrigo Rojas on keyboards. Juana Fe began to improvise with popular rhythms, creating what they themselves termed the ''Afrorumba chilenera'' (Chilean Afro-rumba), and performing in the peripheral neighbourhoods of the Chilean capital.

Chico Trujillo
Chico Trujillo are a New cumbia band merging cumbia, ska, reggae and rock, among other styles. The band formed in 1999 in Villa Alemana, Zona Central, Chile, following a tour that lead singer – known as "Macha" – undertook with his then band through the cities of Germany, the Netherlands and Austria. Chico Trujillo's first songs were born of jamming sessions with Asenjo and his friend Antonio Orellana, and their sound gradually attracted new members to the band.

Chico Trujillo has performed concerts at universities, musical venues, festivals and various events, including the ''Cumbre Guachaca Chilena'' at Estación Mapocho and concerts campaigning for the rights of the indigenous Mapuche.
