 For Immediate Release El Dusty Releases Official “Cumbia Anthem” Music Video on
Aftercluv Dancelab/Therapist/MeccaLani
Corpus Christi, TX – October 9, 2015 - Raised and rooted in Corpus Christi, producer, DJ, and nucumbia pioneer El Dusty (born Horacio Oliveira) translates the Southern Texas border experience into
new barrio anthems where the MPC2000 sampler and chopped clips of Latin music history collide. The
“Cumbia Anthem” music video and single, out now on Aftercluv Dancelab/Therapist/MeccaLani.
El Dusty’s “Cumbia Anthem” is a club banger primed to be a peak time staple in tropical bass party
sound systems, melding together heavy 808s, trap snares, and an iconic sample from San Jacinto,
Colombia’s cumbia star Andrés Landero. “Cumbia Anthem” marks El Dusty’s first collaborative track
with Dominican twerk producer Happy Colors, the result of late night sessions in fellow Universal
Music artist MLKMN’s Miami studio over the summer. The video shot in Corpus Christi, TX and
produced by Locos Only, Produce Design Team, and Mucho Fresco. Remezcla premiered the video
today and a says, “The video makes it clear that El Dusty intends for this track to become just what the
title promises: an anthem. The Andrés Landeros sample is accented by the settings and visuals.”
The use of Landero’s “Bailando Cumbia” spotlights the signature melding of Colombia’s vallenato and
gaita traditions, which has appeared in countless remixes in the nu-cumbia wave and positions it as the
ideal source material for the creation of an anthem for the movement. El Dusty and Happy Color’s take
bears a mid-tempo, bass-heavy twerk single that still leaves room for the original cumbia warmth to
shine through.
El Dusty will embark on a tour to promote Trapanera EP, “Cumbia Anthem”, and soon to be released
later this year, “Orale”, and “We Out Chea”, where he’ll debut a newly-developed set that expands on
his expertise as a long-time turntablist with previous live appearances supporting the national tours for
the Kumbia Kings and Baby Bash & Frankie J, and appearances at the Latin Grammy Universal Party,
Brisk Bodega Tour, Mad Decent Block Party Tour, Pachanga Fest, and more. The newest version of
his set will debut El Dusty’s recently-developed live visual projections that he can mix and scratch over,
and live percussionists to improvise over the DJ set.
