FANTASMA, Cumbia and Beyond Fantasma was gestated in 2001, formed by Martín Roisi and Pablo Antico, A.K.A. Fantasma (artistic, guitar and voices) and Mr Negro (raps & frontman).
They redeveloped Tropical cumbia styles with a mix of hip hop and electronic sounds that seem to come right from a Digital Shanty Town!
Using music as a weapon, they started moving in different social levels in an integration crusade, from touring in Paris (2007) and being played on TV´s primetime show "Susana Giménez," to being founders of the multicultural social project Odisea 20, settled in a shanty town (Villa 20, Villa Lugano).
