Entitled <span style="font-style: italic;">Soy Cumbia!</span>, the mix is part of the ongoing and often excellent podcast series <a href="http://web.mac.com/diplo1978/iWeb/mad%20decent%20radio%20worldwide/mad%20decent%20radio/mad%20decent%20radio.html">Mad Decent Worldwide Radio</a>.<br /><br />With the podcast Diplo posted a small rundown of some of his experiences in Buenos Aires and also doled out some major shout outs to the <a href="http://www.whatsupbuenosaires.com/zizek/">Zizek</a> party and local mashup wizard <a href="http://www.diamantestyle.com.ar/">Villa Diamante</a>. Although he doesn't include a tracklist, the mix includes sounds from local producers like <a href="http://www.myspace.com/elhijodelacumbia">El Hijo de la Cumbia</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/elremolon">El Remolón</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/chanchaviacircuito">Chancha Vía Circuito</a> along with some more obscure cumbia offerings, many of which probably do not even come from Argentina.<br /><br />Apparently this podcast is not the end of the Diplo's cumbia love affair, as he promises to "do something bigger with the sound later in the year."
