In Mexico, Monterrey has a notorious gang problem, often linked to street violence and drugs in a city where cartels pose a national threat, but 17-year-old Ulises and his friends aren’t part of it. Technically, their little group is also a gang — they call themselves “Los Terkos,” dress alike in baggy clothes and sport magnificent hairstyles that turn the heads of total strangers — but these kids have come together out of a common interest not in crime, but for cumbia music.
Since then, portrait photographers have brought global attention to the distinctive style of these marginalized young people, who have discovered a sense of freedom and self-expression dancing to manipulated cumbia music — classic tracks that take on a completely different tempo when played at slower RPMs.
