ZIZEK

Buenos Aires Cumbia heats up Toronto

Originally it started as Columbian folk music but contemporary cumbia involves instrumental mixing, lots of strong drum beats and overall the type of music you think of when imagining a late night street party in a hot Latin American city. Tears of sweat beading down bust lines, skirts getting lifted and tossed, tequila flowing and rough sex amongst jungle snakes and vibrant wildlife.
Zizek has taken the forceful percussion of cumbia and scritched and scratched / mished and mashed to achieve a wholly unique sound that incorporates crunk, electro, dancehall and hip hop.
Tracks that pair the likes of Puerto Rica's Calle 13 blended with global muse MIA - result in an internationally explosive sound. Lively, provocative the DJ troupe Zizek offers up beats that are invigorating to the soul and bring the kind of excitement that equates to hooking up for a one night stand while on vacay far away from home.

What the critics are saying:
"The True Laboratory of Argentine Dance." Time Out Buenos Aires
"No wonder Clarín, Argentina's largest newspaper, had nominated Zizek as one of the best parties of the year — it was awesome." New York Times

Don't miss the party - ZIZEK will be participating in the Ritmo y Color festival at Harbourfront and you can check them out, Saturday July 12 @ 10:30 PM
