Prone to late night donut and dub sessions, Snakkr has been workin the wheels of steel at monthlies and one-offs in the SF Bay Area for the past decade after a transplant from the East coast. He’s been a crafter of beats on various electronic doo-dahs and makeshift drumsets since he was a wee lil snakkr and continues to spread the tastiest riddims he can. His sets tend to weave a selection of styles from dub-step, dancehall, roots to cumbia, reggaeton, bhangra, hiphop and more.
Since 2010, Snakkr has been producing projects with local artists in Guinea Conakry. Currently, he’s on a Mid-East beats mission in Beirut, Lebanon where he’s been serving delectables to the dub-step and hip hop scenes.

Okay, so there is way more to say about the history of where the original of this song came from and what others have done to it than we will share right here, but Juan Data has chronicled it well in his blog so check that out here: The Hard Data, other wise enjoy what hopefully is the first of many cumbias we will put out.
