“...lying became difficult, but after listening a
couple of songs of Keko Yoma there was not
a single person who could resist: in front of the
stage the crowd danced to the beat of several
musical styles: sometimes rock, sometimes
reggae, and then cumbia and samba. Even
Michael Jackson’s Thriller was “latinized”.
Letzte Änderung (Neu-Ulmer Zeitung, ULM, 2009)
“Keko Yoma makes perfect music. They mix
rock, punk and ska with a lot of instruments
from Chile, and they love to tease songs that
are known all over the world”.
Letzte Änderung (Neu-Ulmer Zeitung, ULM, 2009)
“ Keko Yoma dares to step aside from the other
national bands, playing an experimenting rock,
joining together a musical party and a great
sense of humor. Do you want to have a good
time? Jump, rock and laugh with Keko Yoma.
Rodrigo Bravo (Rockaxis, Santiago, 2009)
“The therapeutic, psico dramatic, theatrical and
medical, mixed anture of Keko Yoma transforms
their shows into something unforgettable”
Radio Radiológica (Madrid 2009)
“...they immediately established without any
embarrasement a contact with the audience
and they were able to keep it until the end and
beyond… Costumes and a group charisma seen
a few times before, where everybody participates
in a very coordinated and rehearsed show, with
a freshness and a catchy rhythm that motivates
people to shake their bodies without even
knowing it”
Radio Rompantodo (Barcelona. 2009)
“A game of dualities oscillating between the
theatrical behavior and the massive discontent of
a generation. That is Keko Yoma”. Social problems
brought to the audience as catchy melodies, pure
honesty disguised as funny songs: Keko Yoma, a
group that you will not forget”
Tábatha Guerra (La Pollera, Valparaiso, 2008)
“...and then, around 7:30 in the afternoon, one
of the greatest moments of the day came: The
incredible Keko Yoma’ show”.

Casa de locos con cable a tierra suabo

Neu-Ulm. La locura tiene un nombre: Keko Yoma. Bajo este nom-

bre una joven banda chilena propaga su derecho a hacer locuras.
La Flussmeisterei en Neu-Ulm se convirtió en una casa de locos
musicalmente hablando. El público lo encontró tremendo. Vistiendo
batas blancas de centros siquiátricos tomaron por asalto el esce-
nario, contagiando al público con la consigna „Dance and fly“. Por
el „cable a tierra“ que según dicen los dichos es carcacterístico de
los suabos, lo de volar se hizo difícil, pero después de un par de
canciones de Keko Yoma ya no había quién resistiera: delante del
escenario el público se movió al son de una sucesión de estilos
musicales: a veces rock, a veces raggae, después cumbia y samba.
Hasta Thriller de Michael Jackson fue „latinizado“.

El cantante con cola de vaca brinca por el escenario, como si estuvi-

era conectado a un cable de alta tensión, se disfraza a una velocidad
sorprendente, suda, canta, salta al público, reúne a los asistentes de-
trás suyo como el flautista de Hamelin: un rey entre los animadores.
Y nadie se pregunta si este derviche chileno tiene que estar dopado,
porque a pesar del alto rendimiento físico, Keko Yoma hace música
perfecta. La banda combina rock, punk y ska con un sinfín de in-
strumentos de la patria chilena y le encanta tomarle el pelo a éxitos
musicales de nivel mundial.
Desde el 2004, los chilenos van de continente en continente con sus
tours, haciéndose los locos con el público. La Flussmeisterei fue el
lugar perfecto para desfogarse en esta cálida tarde veraniega. Un su-
abo se sorprendía y alegraba a la vez: „Tanta diversión por tan poca
plata“,
