The Argentine group swept their song “Tírate un paso” at the beginning of the 2010s. In any case, for years there was a rumor about their clothing that had not been confirmed.
During 2011, the Argentine group Los Wachiturros began to sweep Latin America, and, despite their multiple criticisms due to their urban style, they ended up being remembered for their song “Tírate un paso”.
His musical success ended up being viral and allowed the group to travel to different countries, even reaching national television. However, her style characterized by expensive clothes ended up being judged multiple times.
This is how he started a rumor against young people: The French brand Lacoste would have decided to pay the cumbia group to stop wearing their clothesall as a strategy to take care of your image.
A confirmed myth
For a decade, that rumor had no confirmation and remained an open secret in the world of Argentine music. However, the former member of the group, Gonzalo Muñoz, confirmed the almost urban myth.
In an interview with the program We are on time of the Argentine channel América TV, the singer was directly consulted if he had received money to stop wearing garments from the crocodile’s signature.
“yes it was. Not to us, to the office (by its representatives). Nothing came to us”, answered. After that, he assured that the Tommy Hilfiger sports line wanted to dress them.
On the reason for his preference for those garments in the beginning, Muñoz stated that “we we used the brand because Lacoste came in many colors. We used a lot of colored things, it was the best thing to wear with that”.
“And then Tommy (for the clothing line) began to manufacture clothes of that style, that problem passed and they were offered, so we changed brands,” he said.
“At that time Lacoste showed that the person wearing it was a businessman or a lawyer”, Munoz recalled.
In that conversation, the musician recalled his years in the group, when many of his companions were still minors, pointing to still meet to share.
Incidentally, he accused that each of the Wachiturros ended up being scammed by their representatives, since the most he received in payment for holding an event in its heyday was 3 thousand Argentine pesos, that is, 21 thousand Chilean pesos approximately.
