BOOM BOOM KID

This argentinian alternative rock band was formed in Buenos Aires by the lead singer of a previous band, Fun People, Carlos Rodríguez (also known as Nekro, Boom Boom Kid or simply BBK).
The band has influences of salsa, rockabilly, pop rock and a little stains of hardcore left by Fun People's style.
This band is kinda eclectic, since the music styles change a lot from song to song, besides, the lyrics may switch from english to spanish in a single song.
Through his music, Boom Boom Kid seeks sending a message of peace, love, justice and equality, singing themes that may vary from political issues to love stories.
He himself has said that with this project, he wanted to do something completely different, that's why he even changed his name and music style.
Boom Boom Kid publishes his work through his own record label : Ugly records
As BBK he has launched the following material:

• Okey Dokey (2001)
• Smiles From Chappanoland (2004)
• Espontaneos minutos de 2x2 es 16 odas al Dada tunes (2007)
• Wasabi (2007)
• Frisbee (2009)

He has also made several compilations and remakes.

A lot of former fans of Fun People, claim that Nekro betrayed his spirit and "sold" himself by becoming Boom Boom Kid, truth is that there comes a time for every artist to mature, and we could not expect to have the wild, young, rebel guy with dreadlocks forever. Change is good, change is free, Nekro, Boom Boom Kid, Fun People, it doesn't matter what you call it, music with spirit never dies.

Videogame Music
The soundtrack for: Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger is an rpg for the Super Nintendo. This game is frequently praised by gamers as one of the best rpg´s in history, good gameplay, good story, and good soundtrack.
The game´s soundtrack creates a mysterious atmosphere that really goes well with the game, so well, that it can make you feel in it even if you´re not playing.
Music like this in videogames is what makes you think that more than just entertainment, they can be considered true pieces of art. The atmosphere, the characters, and of course, the music,  carry emotions with them, not just buttons and scores.

This is the song that sounds at the beggining of the adventure, go on and listen to the next tracks, and you´ll see what I´m talking about:
