This joint filters cumbia classic “La Pollera Colora” (aka that wide circular traditional Colombian dress) through a dubby low-end and drums that go hard, a reinterpretation of a traditional rhythm for digital media and devilish dancefloors. Speaking of, El Hijo de la Diabla is the new side project of Ivan Rodriguez, guitarist in live Tijuana cumbia band Koñorteño. Also check out his “Pon de Floor” remix because it is sick.

Koñorteño actually is a rock fusion band with accordion, but we do have a cumbia Colombiana side project called “La Diabla” with all the members of the band playing traditional colombian style cumbia, hence the name “el hijo de la diabla” for Ivan’s electronic project
