Cholombianos /
Watkins, Amanda,photographer.
"They had no medium of expression, so they had to make it up; they had no look, so they created it with gallons of hair gel and hours of toiling meticulously over their escapularios. They don't imitate anyone because they never hand [i.e. had] anyone to imitate and they created their fascinating code from scratch. All from a güiro they heard on the radio that was so catchy that it was impossible not to follow its rhythm and let yourself go wherever it took you. And it took them underneath bridges, to the dance halls, and into the streets of Monterrey's roughest neighborhoods, where they stand out from everyone else thanks to their unmistakable way of dressing and dancing"--Page 4 of cover.
