SATURDAY 7PM – ELECTROPOP AND HIP HOP, A CROWD’S PASSION

In tune with the typical trendy Saturday night, FOK Electrochongo (photo) gave an “amphetaminic” electropop show to the crowd who overflowed Villa Villa hall. Those who were not able to come into the patio next to the hall, popped up their heads to see a bit of Juan Pablo Malvasio’s project, a different front man. Bodybuilder, he only wears boxers and boots, in absolute black, leaving uncovered his impressive body. Besides shouting and imposing clichés – he repeated phrases like “black party, red party” and “I’m cool”-, he was strongly playing the keyboards at his right.

Minutes later, the Uruguayans Contra las Cuerdas took center stage at the terrace to show how hip-hop is played on the other side of Río de la Plata. Their songs are an impassioned speech against war, with tango and folklore elements, so as to give a regional touch. The audience shakes their heads up and down, following front man Marcelo Gamboa’s catchy rap rhythm. They are rounding up their participation with “Legalizar”, taken out of their homonym album released in 2008.

Right away Robot Zonda starts at Villa Villa hall, to show their “shaky post punk dance with a spring bungee jumping space rocker trend”, as defined by themselves.
