The Ambassador of Mexican Future Pop

Maria Daniela y Su Sonido Lasser is an electro pop band from Mexico City. They're one of the most popular bands on the excellent Nuevos Ricos (New Rich) label. Nuevos Ricos is based in Mexico City and while the bands vary from techno to pop to punk, they all tend to focus on creative, high energy performances and embrace irony and kitsch.

Maria Daniela and one of her favorite hand gestures

Maria Daniela y Su Sonido Lasser consists of Emilio Acevedo and Maria Daniela Azpiazu. Their cheesy techno pop is super catchy and their videos are a blast, especially "Chicle de Menta."

"Duri Duri" is actually a cover that was originally recorded by the fantastically cheesy 80s Mexican band, Click. Click was one of those girl groups in which none of the members actually played any instruments. They all had incredibly big hair and performed hilarious synchronized dance routines. Check them the hell out:

I think Maria Daniela has definitely been inspired by them. I know I will forever be inspired by them.
