Need music to headbang, dance and add some excitement to\u00a0your awful life? Grab a beer and listen to\u00a0Cachicamo con Caspa y\u00a0Leiko, el Perro de la\u00a0III Dimensi\u00f3n<\/strong>. The party is about to get started.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ahh\u2026 The tropical breeze refreshing your skin is great, isn\u2019t it? Here in these Caribbean countries, we like to party and having fun.\u00a0Are you worried about tomorrow? Do not worry about that, mi pana, just have a cold beer and crank high octane happy music. Are you broke because you lost your job? That is OK, you will get one tomorrow, amigo, just have a cold beer and crank high octane happy music.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the way of the Latino, forcing himself into\u00a0a good mood, even in the worst circumstances. To illustrate that spirit, I can cite the name of one of the most renowned figures in the Latin-American music,\u00a0Celia Cruz<\/strong>, a Cuban singer that never made a sad song because she had\u00a0the goal of\u00a0bringing happiness to her fans. We are like that.<\/p>\n

The injection of Heavy Metal into\u00a0our culture has created\u00a0disparate results.\u00a0A couple of\u00a0bands\u00a0made it\u00a0into the Worldwide Extreme Music Hall of Fame, and another myriad bands\u00a0never even got their\u00a0own epitaphs. I always wonder, why is Latin-American Metal like that?<\/p>\n

My hypothesis is the lack of synchronicity between\u00a0bleak metal narratives and\u00a0the Latino flame, you know, \u201cEl fuego\u201d, that happy spirit that allows us to\u00a0persevere and conquer our goals, that \u201ctumbao\u201d, that \u201cguaguanc\u00f3\u201d, that makes us dance in the darker segments of our history. Maybe we are happy people and metal just reminds us our crappy environments?<\/p>\n

Started back\u00a0in 2005 in Venezuela, Cachicamo con Caspa<\/strong> could be the missing link that proves my theory. This Venezuelan behemoth makes a dangerous cocktail with a combination of\u00a0musicianship, rum, metal and Latin rhythms. The band started as an act of revenge and rebellion after the leader of the band was rejected in Latin American Idol auditions in Caracas with unfair treatment. In the same moment that he left the building, a legend was born, and now our parties are blessed with the excellence of the Cachicamos and their mascot, Leyko, the III Dimension dog.<\/p>\n
