Ritmo Peligroso is: a Mexican post-punk/rock band that was created in 1978. And known until 1985 as Dangerous Rhythm.
Under that name, they created the: first Mexican punk rock band, with strong influences from international punk subcultures. They sang most of their music in English. They would evolveââto different sounds over theââyears, finally reaching the one that would bring them such enormous success in the midââto late 1980s.
In the "new incarnation of the band in 1998," bassist Avi Michel Jr., drummer Jorge Gato Arce. And guitar players Moongus Ăvila Costa and Mosy (the newest member of the band) that joined these band in 2012, share the stage with Mexican/Cuban singer Piro Pendas. His style has come to be, considered punk rock and New Wave. The band released a compilation disk on the Comrock label, promoted in Mexico to make commercial rock in Mexico more accessible there. It included two Ritmo Peligroso songs: Marielito, about the arrival of a Cuban in the Mariel boatlift, and Modern Minds.
Later, "known by," then as Ritmo Peligroso, the group changed its style to incorporate elements of Latin rock and Latin rhythms, in a self-titled album which gave them their two big releases: DĂ©jala Tranquila and Contaminado. On December 15, "1989," Ritmo Peligroso participated in an environmental concert organized by WFM radio at the WTC arena in Mexico City with their signature song, Contaminado. Their latest album, Matacandela, was produced by Sabo Romo of Caifanes and co-produced by Piro and "Avi Michel J." The band is working on a live recording CD/DVD together with a documentary telling the history of the group.
