Pibes Chorros
Pibes Chorros is an Argentine cumbia villera group founded in 2001 in the city of Berazategui by keyboardist and singer Ariel "el traidor" Salinas. The theme of their lyrics, with a high violent content, quickly captured the attention of the public in the first stage of the group. The lyrics address aspects of the delinquent marginality of Argentina in the late 1990s. The cultural habits of these sectors found a channel of expression in the music market and its corresponding aesthetic movement. Together with Yerba Brava, Mala Fama, Pala Ancha and Damas Gratis they are considered the greatest exponents of the genre and together with the latter, the leaders in popularity throughout the country between 2001 and 2005 when there was also a rivalry product of the bad relationship between Ariel "el traidor" and Pablo Lescano. History
Los Pibes Chorros emerged in early 2000 from the recently disintegrated group Los Chudas led by Ariel el Traidor and the economic production of Magenta Discos that became interested in the talented band, due to the rise of the Movida Tropical that had been generated in Argentina since the 1990s. With their most transgressive music and without subtle phrases, they threw themselves into music, talking about drugs, sex and crime. Along with the launch of their first songs, they began to be heard on the radios and also on dance nights in Buenos Aires, and even in the interior of the country and countries such as Paraguay, Chile and Uruguay.
