Argentina's queen of the digital cumbia scene, Mariana Yegros, first sashayed stylishly into the conciousness of the international club underground in 2009 as guest singer and charismatic stage presence with DJ/producer King Coya, which led to her signing with the innovative ZKK label, Buenos Aires' hotbed of the Nu Lat-Am sound. Four years in the making but well worth the wait, her debut album, Viene de Mi, is a shiny mix of twangy cumbiadelica with tropical rhythms, reggae, dancehall and Arabic music, suffused with the chamamé soul of her family's north Argentinian roots. A pre-drop single of the title track gained hit status in France and the rapidly viralling video crossed more borders and this summer saw her irresistibly igniting festival and club audiences around Europe, confidently captaining her fully fit band.
