- >LOS COMPADRES RECERDOS (3/17/2008)>
Last time I was in bogota (Colombia) I shared the bill with Los Compadres at a ROMPECOCOS party…their name translate as very bad ass pigs, the pig dudes, the bad ass pigs dudes…very difficult to translate! Basically they’re a bunch of hard core looking guys rapping some violent, nasty and X RATED lyrics.
Their explicit lyrics mixed with the hard regueatton beat makes an explosive result!
its either you love them or hate them, I particularly enjoy their lyrics and go down to their songs.
Here’s some of their music for you to check out!

I was kinda nervous specially when I got there 45 mins before Boys Noize finished and he had all the people jumping to his set!…
very nervous then I decided to just have a good time and start dropping bangers…It went really well and people seemed to enjoyed it. Next day I had a big smile on my face!
