drei Jahre nach seinem spektakulären Auftritt bei
der transmediale, nach Ausflügen nach Mexiko und
Japan - endlich zurück in Deutschland:
DICK EL DEMASIADO
KASSEL-FRIDERICIANUM -- CUMBIAS EXPERIMENTALES -- NUEVOS RICOS
Freitag 12. Februar 2010, 22 Uhr
Am Freitag 12. Februar steht der Musiker,
Künstler und Filmemacher Dick El Demasiado auf
der Nuevos Ricos-Bühne.
Der gebürtige Niederländer gilt als Godfather of
Digital Cumbia', einer Musikrichtung, die sich
in den 1990er Jahre als elektronische Variante
aus der kolumbianischen Cumbia-Tanzmusik
entwickelte. Dick El Demasiado überschreitet
musikalisch die Grenzen der traditionellen
Rhythmen und verfolgt einen experimentellen
Musikstil zwischen Rock und Electro.
"...cumbia has steadily spread to the world in
the past several years and into the club scene
as well, led by Manu Chao and this eccentric
Dutch man based in Argentina, Dick El Demasiado.
If Manu was missionary style, Dick is stand-up
doggy style." (Shinya Matsuyama, Intoxicate,
Japan)
Das Konzert beginnt um 22 Uhr, Einlass 21 Uhr.
Die Ausstellungen sind von 21 bis 22 Uhr
geöffnet. Eintritt 3 Euro (mit Jahreskarte
gratis)
Kunsthalle Fridericianum Friedrichsplatz 18,
34117 Kassel www.fridericianum-kassel.de
Pressestimmen und Plattenkritiken:
"Musician. Filmmaker. Producer. Writer. Artist.
Dick el Demasiado, known to his legion of fans
as the Cumbia king, has done it all. Breaking
musical boundaries and relishing in the success
of a career that follows its own path, by bucking
tradition he has embraced a freedom that enables
him to expand horizons most artists only dream
of."
(Stef Schwalb, Museyon Guides, USA, complete
interview on
http://www.museyon.com/blog/2009/11/02/its-good-to-be-king/)
"Cumbia's B-to-D-class/comical latin flavor has
been enhanced through the powers of this
exceptional talent. It's like the magical
powers/strangeness of Sensha Yoshida's absurd
comics has been honed to a peak. (...) If poison
was served in such a large portion, it is the
greatest poison." marked: 9 out of 10 (Mitsuhiko
Terashita, Music Magazine, Japan)
He aggressively crosses over the boarder of cumbia and pursues a
diverse style of music that reminds you of Frank
Zappa, Tom Ze, and Biz Markie (...) This artist
is one who has tasted both the bitter and the
sweet." (Masaaki Hara, in a second longer review
, Music Magazine, Japan)
"His strange sound has gradually spread from
Argentina to all over the world. ZZK, a label
that specializes in digital cumbia, also
announces influences by him and pays him
respect by calling him 'Cumbia King'. (...)
While Dick's sounds are naturally based on the
dull and cheap 2-beat, they also relate to the
US electro-rock of the '90s such as the
Butthole Surfers and Sun City Girls, as well as
the west-Japan
experimental rock such as Omoide Hatoba and the
Boredoms." (Shinya Matsuyama, Spa !, Japan)
