One of the acts that I caught at Bonnaroo was a group by the name of Bomba Estereo - they're a Colombian rap group fronted by an awesome young lady named Liliana Saumet, who is part Lady Sovereign and part La Mala Rodriguez. She put down sick rhymes in Spanish, spoke between songs in charmingly broken English, and generally ran the show on stage with authority. So imagine my happiness when I stumbled across a session Bomba Estereo did with Levi's, covering seminal 80s Jock Jams classic "Pump The Jam."
The Colombian good timers haven't been the only ones to crank out a quality session in this Levi's series - there have been some really dope covers thus far. I thought I'd share some of my faves: Nas covering Slick Rick, James Mercer of The Shins and Broken Bells covering Squeeze, and Bomba Estereo covering Technotronic. Bomb your stereo with these bad boys.
