On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Rude Bwoys, Rude Gals, Rude Hi-Fi

 

Luca Lomdardo is Rude Hi-Fi. Luca aka Rude is a fundamental part of the Bologna music scene. Born in 1964 into a family of Sicilian emigrants, Rude grew up between Germany & England. Today he lives in Italy. He has been part of the music scene there since 1984. Rude Hi-Fi started in 1995 after the dissolution of Ghetto 84, the punk rock group also from Bologna of which he was a member. In 1996 Rude began his career as a DJ, playing in different clubs in Bologna, promoting Dancehall / drum 'n' bass mixed with reggae, ragga, & breakbeat.

When I was doing Sound Systember, good Frenz Afro turned me on to Rude Hi-Fi through the song "Soulpusha". I found my way to this release, which I'm sharing here. 

We've got the Mexican connection, ese. 

Thanks, Afro.

  4. Muchas gracias NØ por la música mexicana, pasando por Italia. Me gusta mucho. Me recuerda a la conexión hispana del punk de Los Ángeles.
