SONG OF THE DAY: Alcides – Violeta (El Remolon Remix)

Alcides – Violeta (El Remolon Remix)(zshare)

Recently The Dirty Frenchman has become obsessed with electronic music from South America. Sure we all know baile funk and love it like our oldest child but one cannot live off it alone. The Dirty Frenchman discovered cumbia a few months ago and is still not 100% sure what he thinks of it. Some of it is slow and plodding and other songs are upbeat like this one. He is sure however that electronic cumbia is something interesting to try to spin if you want to not be some trend following hack. This song was played at least 50 times by The Dirty Frenchman the day he found it. He thinks you might feel the same way as well. Apparently it is a remix of some pop song that would be featured on the type of cheesy Saturday night variety shows that exist in every country that does not speak English. Here is the original featured on this type of program. Why do all men on these types of programs, no matter the country, always look like they come from the 1970’s? That older woman is so awkward.
