Tormenta Tropical era un exito!!!

This past Friday's Tormenta Tropicale party (in celebration of Bersa Discos first release- a great 12" showcasing some of Buenos Aires' newest electro- cumbia sounds) brought to you by the fellas (Oro11 and Disco Shawn)was a great success. Tons of people came out dancing to the jams played on The Rickshaw Stop's booming system. Paul Devro(Mad Decent) and Yao were the guest selektas and everyone brought the heat. Check out the picture of all of the night's selektas, winning futbol team styles; somewhere out there right now Maradona is smiling and rejoicing and screaming over the crowd's cheers, "I taught them everything they know!!"


Also, stay tuned for the next Tormenta Tropicale being held at the Mezzanine next month. All the fellas from Argentina(Zizek) will be coming up as they make their way to SXSW, and its gonna be wild. Get to know one as Bersa Discos got a very nice movement building here in the bay.

Sonido Sound

Quick shout to check out the homie from Argentina,Sonido Martines, who is doing the damn thing after just finishing a little mini US tour of sorts including djing the beautiful wedding of Mr. Oro 11 and the lovely Claire along with myself (Yao). He is getting shine from the decent set after spinning a cumbia mix on a radio station there in new york, check it out: crazy sounds. Also, I'd like to say, he surprises me everytime we talk, last time he was calling out original samples from my Plantains CD that i thought cats would never take notice of, dropping knowledge from Buenos Aires to Cali to his new soon to be home of La Paz, Bolivia, give him a shout!!
