If you know me, you probably know that there's not many phrases that start with the word "lesbian" that I can appreciate, unless the phrase ends with the word "porn". So, you should be proud that I can give an unqualified thumbs-up to Kumbia Queers, the all-girl lesbian cumbia band that I D.J.ed with a few weeks back in Mexico City. The ladies played at the rooftop bar of the Centre Cultural de Espana and I must say they killed it. They play cumbia classics and 80s covers with a cumbia makeover and a dyke-centric lyrical twist. The band is half Argentines and half Mexicanas and were appearing as part of a world tour that will take them from South America to Europe. The singer is from the veteran D.F. punk Ultrasonicas and she obviously knows how to work a crowd- people were going off.
