Sumo- Luca Prodan

Hello Friends!

During this afternoon I went back to listening to one of my favorite bands, an Argentine band from the 80's called Sumo. This band was composed by Luca Prodan, an Italian who started from Europe to South America, specifically to Argentina in order to rehabilitate his addiction to Heroin. Luca prodan lost his sister and his brother-in-law for an overdose of heroin. Luca always liked the music, in fact in England had formed a band of reggae with his friends called Hurlingham Reggae Band, but it did not turn out to be very well known. While in Argentina managed to form one of the most recognized rock bands in Argentina in the decade of the 80's. What stood out from Sumo was his rebelliousness, attitude and power, turning out to be a band that mixed many elements of the punk as of reggae. Luca Prodan had a great influence of artists like Ian Curtis, The Clash, Bob Marley, Ian Dury and the blockheads. The first stage of Sumo turned out to create accelerated songs, of highway, one of the things of the genius of Luca was its ability to know more than 5 languages, and it was the unique band of Argentina that sang in English while it was the war of the fallows . Luca Prodan dies early because of cirrhosis caused by drinking too much gin. Now I leave a sumo song to listen to the band.
