Certainly internet hype is why they’ve become well known, in addition to the press they’re now getting in zines like XLR8R and URB (and apparently fader). That’s the way anyone gets known; PR!

I do get the feeling that part of the hype is based on the fact that they’re from a place that seems exotic to the U.S. music press. Their music isn’t necessarily better than what any number of other electronic-dance-music outfits are doing these days, though it is interesting and fun that they’re incorporating Central/South American folk music sounds into their mix.

The bottom line is that they make and play really fun party/dance music. The hype is only relevant in that it’s helping them reach a wider audience.
