A recipe for success? is very difficult to know... what some people might think is funny others can consider it the most idiotic thing on the planet.
Peter La Anguila (Peter The Eel) is considered the new generation of hispanic rappers. Instead of the typical reggaeton singers with bling-bling, tattoos and good bodies, Peter La Anguila has captured massive attention in YouTube due to his ridiculous dancing moves.
This is considered the latino "Ganganm Style", people all over the world are dancing to the rhythm of this catchy song. The song produced The Pichy Films quickly became a social phenomenon, the first day it was posted on Youtube it received 15,000 hits. What's the success of this viral video? We believe the combination of success is a funny and incredible skinny character who moves like an eel in the water when dancing.
The Pichy Films is a group of Cuban/Americans from Miami Florida. Alejandro González and Maikito Rodríguez are the producers and owners of Pichy films; also the male dancers of the video. In just a couple months the video “El Estilo de Peter La Anguila”(The Style of Peter the Eel) has reached around 30 million views in YouTube, but not only that, many thousands also follow the character on many of the social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
The Miami based Pichy Boys are two brother who are very know in South Florida for their parodies of television shows and Hollywood movies. However their most successful hit has become Peter La Anguila.
It is incredible how this three young Cubans have already travel many cities around the world to attend many presentations of “El Estilo de Peter La Anguila”. Just last February they came from a very extended European tour where they visited several cities in Germany, Spain, France. There most solid presentations occur in Mexico and Central America.
