Background notes
Archive material and source history
Alcides Diaz came up in Barranquilla, Colombia, where he grew up hearing salsa, cumbia, and vallenato. In the early 2000s, he put together a band that mixed those traditional rhythms with pop and rock. Their big break came in 2007 with 'Revoliatico,' a song that caught on across Latin America as a party and carnival anthem.
Diaz's lyrics sometimes drew criticism from more conservative listeners, but he kept writing what he wanted. The band released albums like 'El Truco' in 2009, 'El Sonido de la Calle' in 2012, and 'La Rumba Continúa' in 2016. They had a lineup that included Carlos Roldan on guitar, Checo Acosta on drums, Juan Carlos Coba on bass, Luis Pacheco on keyboards, and Tito Pupo on trumpet.
'Revoliatico' stayed their signature track, the one that defined their sound for a lot of people. It's the song that comes up when his name does.
