Latino hip-hop hits a note - Wichita, Kansas

“The opening bars to summer’s popular song “Lean Like a Cholo” scream over large loud speakers as a sold-out crowd of teen and tween fans sing along at the Orpheum Theatre. Waiting in the wings, wearing a long black T-shirt, is Down aka Kilo, the artist whose song is creating the frenzy. He stretches and drinks from his water bottle before walking on stage, yelling into the mike…

“Who wants to lean like a cholo?”

The question is a call to arms, and the crowd’s roar increases by several decibels.”
