Rebel Up! Soundclash (#15)
Diasporic sounds from the global underground..... a global culture mashup of rougher world music and visuals, without borders! (mestizo, gypsy, old skool roots, roughness from Africa, latino cuts, rhythms from Arabia, Asian pop and gritty electronics. Everything!, and worldy mashed) with various dj's, armed with a musical manifesto.....
Allow me to explain: When I lived in the Netherlands, I discovered a radical little event once a month in Amsterdam called Rebel Up! Soundclash. I always danced my soul out with others in this great painted space with cheap beers and djs that i dug juxtaposing serbian horns with other beats, and the music against videos of nature, funny and beautiful things, art, women, psychadelic colors. I'm still on the email list, thus snippets of the past are in my now. This event of which I cherish memories continues and changes- and creates change, each month raising money for different great people deeds and organizations. Ooh, I wish I could go!
"Feel like hearing tunes from the freshest South American style?
Now's the time, Rebel Up! Soundclash finally presents a Nueva Cumbia special!
and a special guest too; DJ Pinchado from Buenos Aires!
His tropicalist cut ups of crunchy cumbia's and slow rebajadas will make the dancefloor shake and swoon into a tropical sizzle! Hear snippets below...

Since Colombia is the cradle of the cumbia, this special night will be in aid of a Colombian foundation, named Juconi (www.juconi.nl). We will support the Micro Empresas project, where poor single working mothers receive support in setting up their own little business through practical education. This way they can start working from home instead of leaving their children behind every day for a far away and mostly underpaid job. This will prevent their children from ending up on the street and gives them and their family a chance for a better future.
We hope to see you at OCCII for some lush latino action!! Better not miss it, it's gonna be the best tropical underground party of the summer...
