With their sixth album the members of Che Sudaka firmly put the emphasis back on their Colombian roots. Yes, the track list also still contains a number of solid ska and punk songs ('Don't Ask Me', 'Viendo Tu Makina Punk'), but it's the remainder of the tracks on 'Hoy' that give the album it's flavor. A special mention has to go to 'Cuando Será', a bambuco (Colombia's unofficial national music genre, with a rhythmic structure that is similar to the European waltz or polka and usually played by a trio, consisting of a guitar, a 12 string guitar and a bandola, a kind of mandolin) to support the strike of the Colombian farmers against the dominance of Monsanto and dedicated to all farmers worldwide who are still refusing to work with genetically modified seeds. As we have come to expect of them, lyrically Che Sudaka once again draws the sword as illustrated by 'La Ley Del Miedo' ("the law of the fear", a song that could describe the current political situation in Belgium) or 'Al Sistema No Le Conviene' (roughly translated "the system doesn't like that"). There are quite a number of familiar faces making an appearance on 'Hoy' as well; as for 'Ironia' Che Sudaka invited Gogol Bordello's Pedro Erazo, and both Maldita Vecindad's Roco Pachukote and Sergent Garcia lent a hand on 'No Estamos Solo'. Extremely enjoyable release by this great band from the Spanish mestizo-scene!
