from Italy, passing through england, and ending his journey here in Argentina. He felt more Argentine than the Argentines themselves. a great intellectual, humble and crazy. He traveled in the same bus as the people who would see him at the recital. Never again will we have a musician as incredible and sensitive as the great Luca Prodan was. If you see my photo I am standing next to Luca's grave.
Gran reaccion para los sumo liderados por Luca Prodan! Esta cancion es maravillosa el bajo de Diego Arnedo, la voz de Luca Prodan y el saxofon de Pettinato una belleza. Gracias Rob!
Luca Prodan was an irish/italian guy who met Argentina by a picture of mountains range ad valleys ofCordoba province, then he moved to Buenos Aires and met some ska and reagge musicians in post punk era.
Dicen que en una entrevista preguntaron si era posible que Sumo se separara, a lo que un irritadísimo Luca Prodan contestó: “¿Sumo divididos? ¡Las pelotas!”. Así que en homenaje al cantante muerto sus antiguos compañeros decidieron ponerse precisamente esos dos nombres.
Hi Robk in the albun "Corpiños En La Madruga", this its the best version of this song because its mixing with other song in the same track "telefonos" and when you herad it its extremaly power not only with trash . Thank a lot to read my word Joseph
Early years Luca Prodan was born in Rome on May 17, 1953, [1] the son of Mario Prodan, an Italian citizen born in the Austro-Hungarian empire and Cecilia Pollock, born in China and the daughter of Scots who resided in Shanghai and Beijing before the WWII. Luca was the third of four brothers: Michela (Micaela) and Claudia were the oldest, and Andrea the youngest of all. Both Michela and Andrea are related to the world of cinema, although Andrea also has an unusual musical career, soloist of the most famous choir in England in her early youth and creative musician in her maturity. [2] [3] In the UK In Scotland, Prodan attended the Gordonstoun School [4], a prestigious high society school (Luca's father wanted to give his children the best education), considered one of the best in Europe, and which he attended in At that time Prince Charles of England. [1] There he met Timmy McKern and then, missing a year to complete his studies, in 1970, he abandoned them and ran away from the institute. [1] At that time he was around seventeen years old old. At the time that his family requested his search for Interpol, he toured Europe alone until he returned to Rome, where he was found by his mother at the same time that he had been arrested by the police. Established in London during the 1970s, he worked at the Virgin record company. Still in London he formed his first band: The New Clear Heads, [1] contemporary to the aesthetic of punk bands like XTC, The Fall, Wire or Joy Division. Luca's musical sensitivity, influenced by the heyday of British ex-colony rhythms like dub and reggae (which influenced British popular music during the 1970s), resembles the personal style of post-punk songwriters like Joe Jackson, Graham Parker or Elvis Costello. [5] Although perhaps the irony of Ian Dury & The Blockheads is more like the humorous and festive style of some of the songs from Prodan's later stage with the group Sumo. [5] I don't know Prodan had a particular vocation for music. He was sensitive in adolescence to symphonic rock and psychedelia from Canned Heat, Soft Machine, Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, or Peter Hammill and Van der Graaf Generator and even the experimental boom of Roxy Music. Inspired by some musicians such as Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Nick Drake, John Lennon, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, Lucio Battisti, Franco Battiato, or Brian Eno, he composed some memorable songs during the 1970s, which would be recorded in 1981 in La Cumbrecita, Córdoba (Argentina). Living in London, Luca started using heroin. [6] In 1979, his sister Claudia committed suicide with her boyfriend, after locking herself in a car and inhaling carbon monoxide. [6] After this, Luca fell into a coma, due to his heroin addiction, making him almost presumed dead. [6] In Argentina  Luca in the early 1980s, already based in Córdoba, Argentina. Prodan settles in Argentina in the middle of the dictatorship. In several reports, [required quote] stated that he traveled to Argentina following a bucolic image that had caught him. He received a letter from his Argentine friend of Scottish origin, Timmy McKern, with whom he had shared school years in Scotland and later lived in London, in which there was a photo of the McKern family in the mountains of Córdoba. [7] SumoEdit Main article: Sumo (band) Prodan, Germán Daffunchio and Alejandro Sokol [7] began to make songs, which would be the first of the band to be called Sumo, such as "Night & Day" and "Regtest", among others. [7] Prodan, Sokol ( on bass), Daffunchio (on guitar) and Stephanie Nuttal (Luca's English friend, on drums) gave Sumo's first concert at a nightclub in El Palomar called Caroline's Pub. [7] The gang established their base in Hurlingham, at Timmy's mother's house. They provided shows with songs sung in English. They had serious problems during the Falklands war, when everything related to the United Kingdom was banned. This caused Nuttal to return to his native country at the request of his parents [8]. Sumo's second line-up was: Prodan (voice), Daffunchio (guitar), Sokol (drums) and Diego Arnedo (bass). [7] Later Roberto Petinatto joined as saxophonist (until then he was a journalist for the magazine The Imaginary Express). In 1984, Alejandro left the band and Alberto "Superman" Troglio on drums and Ricardo Mollo (Arnedo's friend) on guitar joined. The definitive formation was that of these two plus Prodan, Daffunchio, Arnedo and Petinatto, which lasted until the dissolution of the group. Sumo accompanied a cultural revolution, embodied in a participatory fervor of middle-class youth in party politics, neighborhood associations, and an innovative cultural scene. The creative underground culture of post-dictator Buenos Aires [9] renewed both alternative journalism, embodied in magazines such as Expreso Imaginario or Cerdos y Peces, and a deeply ironic artistic environment about the established places of the plastic arts, theater, music or design. A crossroads of genres that characterized the era and that was evident in artists such as Marcia Schvartz, Vivi Tellas, Diana Nylon, Batato Barea or Sergio de Loof. [10] During these years, Sumo used to split into two in order to raise more money, thus forming the Hurlingham Reggae Band, and (sometimes) Sumito. [11] Both groups gave several recitals per weekend, including the underground temple of the 1980s, the Café Einstein, or in the Parakultural. [11]  Luca Prodan with his band in 1985. After releasing Corpiños at dawn in the form of a cassette and with limited distribution, in 1985 the band released their first "official" album, Divided by Happiness (a game about the name of the English band Joy Division), in which they capture a lot of reggae with influences from Bob Marley and also from funk and post punk; "La tara blonde" was the biggest hit of this LP. In 1986 they recorded Llegando los monos, the second album in which there is reggae, aggressive rock and post-punk. Some of his songs became hymns, such as "Bursting from the ocean", "The Armored Eye" or "Hot TV". The hit of the album was «Los Viejos vinagres». That same year they gave an epic concert at Obras Sanitarias, in which they established themselves as one of the most popular bands of the moment. [7] In 1987 they released their third and last album, After Chabón, an album that shows a remarkable maturity in musical and lyrical matters: such is the particular case of "Mañana en el Abasto", in which Prodan gives a particular and emotional description of a typical neighborhood of Buenos Aires. [12] [13] Death edit The last recital was at the Club Atlético Los Andes stadium, on December 20, 1987. According to the singer of the band Los Violadores, Pil Trafa, "Luca was very skinny and pale." His former teammates recalled later that night, moments before performing a powerful version of "Fuck you," Luca said, "There goes the last one." Two days later, on Tuesday December 22, 1987, he was found dead in his room in the house located at 451 Alsina Street, in the San Telmo neighborhood, which he shared with the musician Marcelo Arbiser. He had suffered cardiac arrest due to severe internal bleeding caused by cirrhosis of the liver. [Appointment required] Prodan's death occurred in the most fateful decade of Argentine rock, since a few years earlier Alejandro De Michele had died (May 20, 1983), of Pastoral, then Miguel Abuelo (March 26, 1988) and Federico Moura ( December 21, 1988), leaders of Los Abuelos de la Nada and Virus, respectively. personal recommendation, you have to listen to HEROINA from SUMO. You should listen to it, I think it is the song that best portrays an addiction, it is incredible how one comes to love a substance or an act that makes you ill
When the singer died, the rest of the musicians talked about the division of the band. Someone said load "Divididos las pelotas!" It is translated as "divided the balls!" And it means "divided never!" Or something like that. Based on that sentence, the band splitted into two bands. "Divididos" and "Las Pelotas". It is very interesting the biography of the singer.
Hi Rob! Divididos makes a Sumo little tribute plays "Potpourri de Sumo" 6 mins with a big bass guitar. In 1996 they gave a powerfull show at MTV. Both stuff can you check here. 👍

Prodan, Germán Daffunchio and Alejandro Sokol [7] began to make songs, which would be the first of the band to be called Sumo, such as "Night & Day" and "Regtest", among others.
