Mala Fama is an Argentine cumbia band with a distinctive personality in the Latin American music scene. The band's inception can be traced back to the late 1990s, with Hernán Coronel as its charismatic frontman and principal figure. Their music is characterized by a blend of catchy cumbia rhythms and clever, often humorous lyrics that connect with the working-class struggles and the everyday life of "barrio" culture. Over the years, Mala Fama has cultivated a loyal following in the cumbia villera movement, expanding its influence to broader audiences.

Famed for their vibrant live performances, which perfectly capture the raucous energy and streetwise attitude of their studio recordings, Mala Fama has a long list of hits that resonate with fans across generations. Celebrating more than two decades of music with the release of “20 Años Agitando el Avispero (En Vivo)”, the band showcases their longevity and consistent ability to engage fans both old and new. Other releases like "La Marca de la Gorra (En Vivo en Teatro Gran Rex)" and the "Sesiones Musikeras" series, including tunes such as "La Resaca de Tu Amor" and "Tanke Llenou," continue to feature their signature sound and reinforce their status as a staple of the Argentine cumbia genre.
