La Severa Matecera
Colombian musical group
La Severa Matacera is a Colombian musical group, formed in Bogotá, at the end of 1995, with the idea of forming a band which could mix all the influences of its members (ska, reggae and funk mostly).
History
Their first demo-tape, “Inmunidad”, was published in Mexico, by an independent label called Pepelobo Rekords, in 1999. La Severa Matacera then participated in two compilation albums for the Hispanic-America market. In 2002, they released an album called “Cuando La Gente Se Pare”, on the Colombian labels Hormagaloca Producciones, and MTM Records Colombia. This album has 13 tracks, which include invited musicians: Desorden Público, of Venezuela, and Los Yerberos, of Mexico. "Cuando la gente se pare" was recorded in Rec. Studio, Bogotá, between May and September, 2001, co-produced by sound engineers Mocho and Kabeto; mixed and mastered by Santiago Ochoa at 8A's Psychotropic Home Studio; and with art work by Sebastián Moyano.
The year 2005 started with the band issuing an EP, called Energia Positiva, which includes 3 songs that would be part of their new album; the band decided to publish this work on their own indie label, LSM records. On October 5, the band was given the Best Ska Reggae Band Award, by Colombia's "SHOCK MAGAZINE".
Touring
In February 2006, the band travelled to Los Angeles, California to start their exhaustive 10th Anniversary Tour, performing at the most renowned stages in Los Angeles, such as House of Blues, The Knitting Factory, and The Temple Bar.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
