Overwhelming and energetic mestizo music to make you dance , reflect and dream .
Rebellious cumbia , lively rumba , ska with a hint of latino , in-your-face punk as well as personal and socially critical lyrics – Che Sudaka invites you to a party for the head , heart and stomach !
As illegal immigrants from Argentina and Colombia , the band members earned their living as street musicians in Barcelona . Since then the gang has become standard bearers for Mestizo music worldwide , with over 1500 concerts in 40 countries . Che Sudaka is a band with a mission : They see themselves as an instrument of collective conscience and use music as a weapon in a non-violent war for a caring society .
The band also knows how to wield a spatula and offers self-made food at Bien Snackbar Thursday 02 June . In a panel discussion , they will share their experiences of being illegal immigrants and present homemade culinary gems before serving the musical main meal and dessert at Melodonten Friday 03 June .
