Las Sucias is a feminist noise duo formed by Danishta Rivero and Alexandra Buschma. The Oakland based group's chaotic mix of influences range from old school Caribbean styles such as Reggaetón, Dembow and Dancehall, to Noise, European 1960's vanguard, Goth, Riotgrrrl Punk, Free Jazz, Experimental and Industrial. Additionally their sound was shaped by BOMBA and GAITA DE TAMBORA DE VENEZUELA, styles that already contain a blend of the cultures of Venezuela and Puerto Rico respectively.

“Listen carefully to Las Sucias’ 2016 debut EP ¡Salte del Medio! and under the layers of ghostly vocals and punishing noise distortion you will also hear a droning, skeletal reggaeton beat. The brainchild of avant sound artists Danishta Rivero and Alexandra Buschman, each Las Sucias track is an incantation swirling with riot grrrl rage, throbbing drum machines, dissonant atmospheres, and enough brujería juju to trigger an impromptu seance.” - Richard Villegas
