Meeting with the music of group Pendejo! was a nice, great and new experience. I have received their actual CD from „Idvi Agency“, titled „Volcan“, and this is their fourth album. Fourth release of group based in Netherlands, practicing singing in Spanish. This is unusual combination, but group’s message and music views are also pretty interesting.
