El Remolon (nee Andrés Schteingart) is one of the scions of Buenos Aires' ZZK scene, where traditional cumbia rhythms are re-envisioned for the digital age, forging new paths for tropical music and helping to ensure the longevity of an important Latin cultural art. On El Remolon's new mixtape, he showcases his strengths: blending baile funk vocals with quirky synth cumbia, transforming loping accordions into futuristic-sounding jeep beats, and making Lady Gaga sound surprisingly un-annoying. Touché, El Remolon. Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere will soon have a chance to see him when he tours our time zones this summer, along with with a handful of other awesome ZZK artists.
