Cambio de clima bien buenito de mi hermano

Esto es agricultura fertil !

Esto es desierto mojado ! (foto Patwasi)

I told him, one day the airco will be our ennemy, and look… do we need it ?

MISS PANAMA’s BOYFRIEND – el novio de miss Panama

Cuanta degeneracion, me habian dicho que el hombre tenia problemas con su espejo, por eso Dick, mi hermano, le hizo un descuento… pero ahora anda poniendo la reputacion de la casa Demasiado en peligro. Yo, Catacumbia Gonzalez, y mi hermano Dick, no queremos ser asociado con marginalidad maquillada. Lo que puede suceder cuando le das el mouse a cualquiera. Porque no hay permiso de mouse ?

internet tiene sus vueltas, y gente sigue con pelo largo... no puede ser, tio.

amor y pasaporte

I asked Dick to not play that song, because if not, too many people would kiss, and with the PIGFLUE and also the GREENTOOTH, the SLIMEPAMPA and the PARALIBESO disease, it is dangerous… but, he didn’t listen, and now 14 people are glued together in the barrio of Devoto. Yours, truely and also pachangawise, Sister Catacumbia, 6 month-pregnant, and antropologist.

Yo, la Sister Catacumbia pedí que Dick no tocara esa cancion, por riezgos del besete contagiador, y ahora, siete parejas estan pegadas y sufren problemas de respiracion.

es dificil pero glorioso

Este Dicky, cada vez otro publico… ayer un nightclub cordobes como las de cassavetes…es una manera de sembrar tambien. Es un agricultor y nosotros sus zapallitos felices. Si decimos no a la soja transgentil, digamos tambien no a la monocultura, nos encierra.

Asi que mi hermano, con el apoyo del regimiento Oddone, se tomo unos cuantos fernet de artilleria y dale-que-te-dale, le dio le canchimplorra feliz a la morta_della di la vita…. despues yo tuve que llevarlo al coche….

Sister Catacumbia Gonzalez, antropologa y abstinente de casi todo menos felicidad.

no es facil ser dificil

DICKYDEMASIADO en NIGHTCLUB – switch Cordoba

esto es el nightclub cuando hay clases de religion, los sabados a la mañana

es como un nightclub de una pelicula de cassavetes, el lugar.

Entrevista con mi hermano, Dick. Pregunta el diario LA VOZ DEL INTERIOR en una entrevista que ocupa toda la contratapa del suplemento cultural (bastante mainstream diria yo):

- como definis la cumbia lunatica ?

Hay muchas definiciones [de cumbia lunática], pero la más chocante, poéticamente hablando, es pensar que un artista se mete el dedo en la boca y devuelve por vómito lo que vivió. Y ahí está en el suelo, redondito, como una luna llena. Las que recopilan esa información y la hacen bailable son las cumbias lunáticas.

-Vamos a ir del alegretto-con-corbata hacia el arranque de pantalones por desgaste. Empezaré con grabaciones, un poquito de distorsión y de ahí nos vamos a ver cómo se sienten esas moscas verdes cuando se viene un asado de descuidados. Al ataque

very yesterday DEVOTO SHOW

hijo mio, algun dia todo esto sera tuyo

Dick wanted me to check the tickets, so i saw the whole show. I cannot emphasize how this has influenced me as an antropologist and pregnant attractive mid-thirties woman. My brother was very happy too… and most important, the people. They knew all the songs and sung them along. It was just as i had read in the Courrier International…

Sister Catacumbia Gonzalez, antropologist W.P.T.H, and pregnant.

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.”
marked: 9 out of 10
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.

his sister, Catacumbia Gonzalez.
I just found this today, on the ground:

pura literatura caida del cielo

Appearance in International Travel Book came out today !

I was at the airport of Eseiza to get the marimba-player of the Abracadabra Girls, and one of them, Alicia Ruiz had bought a book about Music and Travel, of the USA… and she just said: Is This YOUR BROTHER ????

me dice la mina: es tu hermano ?

NEW BOOKING in LANUS

Goodday all, i am Catacumbia Gonzalez, ilegitimate sister of Dick El Demasiado, but more important: antropologist, pregnant and booker.

I was phoned this morning by somebody who saw my hermanito play in Provincia and now they want him in Lanus… Lanus is like: As far from the brain as a toe. But Lanus is capital of the Cumbia Experimental Adelgazadora.

If you are not buying incense in Palermo or trying to teach yourself tango in the hotelroom, go to Lanus. You will never vote again !

que bueno es ser tres puntos suspendidos. Chicos perdonen el ingles, pero es un lenguaje internacional tambien.

Sister Catacumbia, La Boca, Necochea.
