El Hijo De La Cumbia is at the forefront of the massive nueva cumbia wave that first landed on the shores of Buenos Aires and proceeded to swamp an entire continent. It’s our pleasure to team up with Toronto’s only tropical bass party Funkété and its founders & hosts the Dos Mundos DJs; to celebrate Funkété’s 1-year anniversary with this guardian and patron of the nueva cumbia movement as our musical guest of honour.

El Hijo de la Cumbia hails from the Buenos Aires suburb of San Martín, an area where traditional cumbia is the official soundtrack for parties and dances. As such, he has gone out on quite a limb by mixing hip-hop and dancehall elements into his music. The name El Hijo de la Cumbia translates to “The Son of Cumbia” and he certainly lives up to the title. Rejecting the repetitive loops of Argentinian cumbia villera, El Hijo de la Cumbia instead pulls heavily from Mexican and Colombian cumbias. Anchored by thick and varied percussion, his music also has a somewhat psychedelic quality. Imagine a producer like Dan the Automator putting together some cumbia tracks and you’re getting close to the world of El Hijo de la Cumbia.

DJ Linterna (Jose Matamorros) and eLman (Sergio Elmir) are the Dos Mundos DJs, Toronto’s premier tropical bass soundcrew. They host the groundbreaking weekly radio show Dos Mundos (CIUT 89.5 FM, Wednesdays 6-8 pm), specializing in the emerging Nu-Cumbia & other alternative sounds emerging from Latin America’s thriving underground music scenes.
