About Los Pibes Chorros
Los Pibes Chorros came up in the wave of cumbia villera that grew out of the poor neighbourhoods around Buenos Aires as Argentina's economy collapsed, alongside acts such as Damas Gratis and Yerba Brava. The band's name translates roughly as "the thieving kids". The songs take the slang and point of view of the villas, about trouble with the police, street life, drinking and parties, sung over cheap-sounding keyboards, güiro and a steady cumbia bounce.
That mix of provocation and dance music made the style controversial in Argentina, where it drew complaints about its lyrics. "Llegamos los Pibes Chorros" is the band's calling card, a song crowds sing back word for word.
