Editor's note

Neo Pistea, the Argentine cumbia band from Escobar.

A group that mixes traditional cumbia with pop and electronic touches for an energetic, danceable sound.

For a sense of their range, check out 'Messi' from their early days and something like 'Criminal' from later on. It shows how they've kept things moving.

They broke through in 2004 with 'El Ritmo de la Cumbia,' which included the song 'Messi' about Lionel Messi. That track sparked a plagiarism dispute in 2006, but they kept evolving, later collaborating with artists like Duki on tracks such as 'Criminal.' Their name means 'new path,' and their music has followed that idea, blending styles without losing its cumbia roots.

Formed in the early 2000s in Escobar, Buenos Aires, with original members like Claudio 'Pájaro' Gómez and Gastón 'El Gordo' Paganini. Diego 'El Polaco' Cwirkaluk left in 2009 to go solo, replaced by Maxi 'El Tambor' Giménez, and their sound shifted toward more recent tracks like 'TRAPPIST-1' with Duki.

Archive material and source history

Neo Pistea is an Argentinian cumbia band that formed in the early 2000s in Escobar, Buenos Aires. Their name comes from the Spanish phrase 'nueva pista,' which means 'new path.' They broke through in 2004 with an album called 'El Ritmo de la Cumbia,' which included a song called 'Messi' about the footballer Lionel Messi.

Their music mixes traditional cumbia with pop and electronic touches, giving it an energetic, danceable feel. Some of their more recent tracks include 'Criminal,' 'Duro,' and 'Wanda Nara' with Duki. In 2006, they faced accusations of plagiarizing the melody for 'Messi' from a Mexican song, which led to a legal dispute that was eventually settled.

The band's lineup has shifted over time. Original members included Claudio 'Pájaro' Gómez on vocals, Gastón 'El Gordo' Paganini on vocals and guitar, and Diego 'El Polaco' Cwirkaluk on vocals and güiro. Cwirkaluk left in 2009 to go solo and was replaced by Maxi 'El Tambor' Giménez.
