DEAR BAFIM-er: thursdaynight ONLY OCCASION TO CHECK THE TRUTH-show

Thursday / Tonight ( 19 Nov !) Dick El Demasiado told me he is playing at Villa Devoto, which is a taxi-ride away from the Bafim. This is the occasion to check in a real context if the rumours are true…godfather, king, etc, butthole surfers of cumbia etc….
some recent japanese notes:

“Cumbia’s B-to-D-class/comical latin flavor has been enhanced through
the powers of this exceptional talent. It’s like the magical powers/strangeness
of Sensha Yoshida’s absurd comics has been honed to a peak. (…)
If poison was served in such a large portion, it is the greatest poison.”

Mitsuhiko Terashita, Music Magazine, Japan.

(…) He aggressively crosses over the boarder of cumbia and pursues a diverse style of music that reminds you of Frank Zappa, Tom Ze, and Biz Markie (…) This artist is one who has tasted both the bitter and the sweet.”
Masaaki Hara, in a second longer review , Music Magazine, Japan.

“…cumbia has steadily spread to the world in the past several years and into the club scene as well, led by Manu Chao and this eccentric Dutch man based in Argentina, Dick El Demasiado. If Manu was missionary style, Dick is stand-up doggy style.”
Shinya Matsuyama, Intoxicate, Japan.

“His strange sound has gradually spread from Argentina to all over the world. ZZK, a label that specializes in digital cumbia, also announces influences by him and pays him respect by calling him ‘Cumbia King‘. (…)
While Dick’s sounds are naturally based on the dull and cheap 2-beat, they also relate to the US electro-rock of the ’90s such as the Butthole Surfers and Sun City Girls, as well as the west-Japan experimental rock such as Omoide Hatoba and the Boredoms.”
Shinya Matsuyama, Spa !, Japan.

REMEMBER…VILLA DEVOTO….19 November…..LIVE with LIVE people, no PR.

(see for precise data in “shows/fechas”)…… Dick will be glad to offer you a fernet afterwards…., and if not he, his fans will.

I just found this today, on the ground:
