Los de Abajo started as a group of friends and students of music and other subjects. Belonging as they did to this university student class and living the day-to-day hard reality experienced by the Mexican people, they began searching the perfect musical tool to spread information and denounce injustice; using their music, made up of salsa, merengue, cumbia, punk, rap, reggae, rock, and Mexican traditions such as son Jarocho, Northern music, and banda sinaloense, Los de Abajo began to spread information and ideas.
Los de Abajo didn’t fit any of the Mexican music market stereotypes; therefore, their first recording, simply called “Los de Abajo,” was produced by the New York label Luaka Bop, owned by David Byrne. This launched the group into the world market. Their second album, “Cyber Tropic Chilango Power” was marketed by the same label and was produced by the Chirusa brotherhood (Danny Macaco, Martín Fucks, and Carlos Jaramillo). In 2002, Los de Abajo was awarded the BBC “Award for World Music, Americas Category”. In Mexico, the “Latin Ska Force” album sold 50,000 copies on average, impressive for an independent, underground-distributed production.
For 30 years, Los de Abajo have made people dance in more than 30 countries, have set foot in four continents, and have participated in prestigious festivals such as the Glastonbury Festival, the Paleo Festival, the Gurten Festival and WOMAD.
Los de Abajo now offer a powerful and danceable musical experience.
