Fantasma is an Argentine cumbia outfit created in 2001, formed by Martín Roisi and Pablo Antico, known by their respective stage names; Fantasma (lead guitar and vocals) and Mr. Negro (lead singer). Some consider them to be among the first bands in developing a cumbia rap music style mixed with electronic sounds, while their style has been described as "Borrowing from the shanty town atmosphere, they mingle tropical cumbia styles with hip hop and electronic sounds." They are also involved in activities in shanty towns.
Their official website states the band: "started moving in different social levels in an integration crusade, from touring in Paris (2007) and being played on TV´s primetime show "Susana Giménez," to being founders of the multicultural social project Odisea 20, settled in a shanty town (Villa 20, Villa Lugano)."
The band took "M.I.A." and dj producer "Diplo" to the heart of a shanty town in Buenos Aires, introducing them to the area. In 2008 they received financing from the Prince Claus Foundation to make the documentary film "Arte Villero/Shanty Town Art" for which their music became its soundtrack.
