LUCHA AMADA DJ

DOSSIER October 2009
by Lucha Amada

WE - LUCHA AMADA from Berlin/Bonn(germany) - are a dj- and concert-collective which loves music from latin america, spain, france, the basque country and italy. Not that typical salsa or son is the style we love but a fusion of nearly all styles. A mixture of traditional and "newer" styles. Latin-ska, Reggae, Cumbia, Salsa, Dub, Hip Hop, Punk, Raggamuffin, Drum n Bass, Rumba, Rock or Mambo mixed to wild musical cocktails which force you to dance and enjoy. Music without borders from bands whose community mostly is antiracism, solidarity and a left-wing attitude. Some call this type of music "mestizo", others "Latin-Fusion", we call da style "rumbapunkyreggae-salsamuffinlatinska". Most well-known representatives from this international scene are probably Clash, Kortatu, Manu Chao, Mano Negra (who started it all), Sergent Garcia, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Los De Abajo, Fermin Muguruza, Sagarroi, Macaco, Amparanoia, Color Humano, Panteon Rococo, Karamelo Santo, Zebda, Ozomatli or Todos Tus Muertos, but there are thousands of (here) unknown bands who we like to make - more or less - famous in germany. Apart from the regulary parties we organize - for example in the "Gebaeude 9" in Cologne - we put up concerts in cologne and Berlin. Sometimes we organize public meetings or show some films in solidarity to social and political struggles in other countries, e.g. to the zapatistas, dearest in connection to a following concert. We also try to develop this place into a huge platform for this type of music, not forgetting interesting news, announcements or links regarding progressively politics. So if you have some interesting news, want a review of your new CD or want to play with your band in germany, don't hesistate to contact us.
