El Chombo is the stage name of Panamanian charting, best-selling, urban music producer, hit songwriter, and recording artist Rodney Sebastian Clark, also known as "El Chombonata". He is widely regarded as influential in the dissemination of early reggaeton. Throughout the tropical and Latin American music worlds, he is best known for the de rigueur multi-volume reggaeton mix series Cuentos de la Cripta (Tales of the Crypt), and in the Anglo world for the singles/viral videos "Chacarron Macarron" in 2005 and 2018's chart-topping "Dame Tu Cosita." The latter's novelty video became an internet sensation, racking up some 250 million views a little over three months after release, propelling the track into the Top 40 of the Hot 100.
Clark discovered his budding talent for altering songs when he was just 11, on a makeshift deck with turntables. It was during this period his classmates gave him the moniker "El Chambonota" ("a person of dark skin"), which was later shortened to El Chombo. In 1985 he began making formal mixes while working on jingles for a Panamanian radio station; their popularity among listeners resulted in him making his debut as a club DJ -- a talent which brought him nearly instant recognition. His club nights were typically sold-out, and El Chombo was able to leave his radio gig to work as a DJ full-time. Shortly thereafter, he began working as producer, starting with a cover of the Latin classic "Perfidia," performed by Natali con Gringoman. In 1995, after a decade working in clubs and experimenting with his own mixes in a makeshift home studio, he introduced his first volume of mixes known as Spanish Oil. Between 1995 and the end of the century, he issued six volumes in the series, all of which are collector's items. In 1997, he issued Cuentos de la Cripta, Vol. 1, the source of the track "Dame Tu Cosita," which would score on the charts more than two decades later as the result of an internet challenge meme. In 1999, El Chombo produced Cuentos de la Cripta, Vol. 3, which contained the song "El Gato Volador" with vocals by Córdoba and Steve Valois; it sold more than 150,000 copies in Mexico alone. With the exception of the year 2000, El Chombo issued six consecutive volumes in the Cuentos de la Cripta series. The break in 2000 was due to the release of his first album, La Mafia -- a second volume appeared in 2001...more
