Background notes
Archive material and source history
El Negro Videla was an Argentine singer known for his 1999 song "La Faldita," which became a major hit in cumbia music. He came from Ayacucho, Argentina, and his style drew from both Peruvian cumbia and Argentine rock. The song's popularity brought him national attention, though its lyrics and his stage presence sometimes drew criticism from more conservative listeners.
In 2003, he was arrested after a concert on charges of inciting violence, which he denied. He continued recording albums like "Cumbia Caliente" and "El Rey de la Cumbia," maintaining a straightforward approach to his music that reflected his background. His work remained popular in cumbia circles without much mainstream polish or compromise.
