Boom Boom Kid is the pseudonym of Carlos Rodríguez, also known as "Nekro", who became well-known as the front person for the influential Argentinian hardcore punk band Fun People. After Fun People disbanded in 2000, Rodríguez embarked on a solo career as Boom Boom Kid, offering an eclectic mix of styles that encompass punk rock, hardcore, rockabilly, pop, and more, melding them into a unique and identifiable sound. His discography is extensive and variegated, often releasing work in various formats, from vinyl to CDs, and consistently touring.
Boom Boom Kid maintains a strong DIY ethic and an intimate connection with his audience, often evident in the raw energy of his live performances. His work is characterized by its emotional sincerity and often playful and poetic lyrics, which are sung both in Spanish and English. Over the years, Boom Boom Kid has built a loyal fan base throughout Latin America and beyond, thanks in part to a relentless touring schedule and a prolific recording regimen, reflected in his latest releases like the reflective "Souvenir Tour Europeo 2022" and the vibrant "Mandala." His ability to continuously evolve while staying true to his roots in punk rock has cemented Boom Boom Kid’s reputation as a uniquely influential figure within the underground music scene.
