zat1 comments on A los 4 cachacos del bus en la ruta 90 de seattle a bel

Que idiota sos Ale Ale: ¿Usted que hace montando bus si es tan de mejor familia... Ale? Solo los cachacos montan bus, todos ustedes (incluido tu, Ale), los demás, manejan sus Maseratis y sus Lexus cuando salen de sus turnos en McDonald's. O fué Ale, ¿se te pinchó una llanta entelerido?
PD: Ale, tengo un par de teorías de lo que los ojitos azules de su esposa realmente querían decir, pero me las guardo... Ale.
PD1: Tu español es despreciable, Ale.
PD2: Y por favor. Ale, no intentes escribir en inglés tampoco, you write like a redneck. And if you insist on doing it, please don't disclose that fact that you are Colombian... Ale...

Alfredo? Alfredo de la Fé, paisa? methinks not. He's Cuban.

zat1 comments on LEAVING FOR BOGOTA TODAY

Bon Voyage! Bogotá is a great city Jordan. Just exercise precaution. Don't go doing things you don't see Colombians doing. If there is something they don't do, or places they don't go ... well, there is a reason, you know?
Other than that, enjoy the place and the people (they are going to love you..)
Take care

zat1 comments on modern cumbia in colombia today

Hey guys Well, now that we are in the subject of Cumbia from other countries... I pretty much hate it all, especially something called "cumbia villera" (scary, scary stuff). I have, however, a very soft spot for some musicians from Mexico that have approached the intention and the spirit of the rythm even if they haven't mastered the sound yet. They are Celso Piña and El Gran Silencio. I love Cumbia Lunera's bass line as well as the choppy, chunky bass line of Chúntaro Style. However, for real modern cumbia Totó La Momposina, Mojarra Eléctrica, Sidestepper and Curupirá are the way to go.
