WACHITURROS— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

wachiturros Plural form used in Argentina both for the youth style described by the singular "wachiturro" and, above all, as the name of the cumbia and reggaeton group Los Wachiturros from Morón in Greater Buenos Aires. The group became known for its dance videos around 2011-2012, and "wachiturros" can also be used loosely for fans or imitators of that dance-and-clothing style.

Origin:Spanish Wikipedia says the name combines "wachi" and "turro", slang tied to a youth tribe of 2008 to which the members belonged. The group formed in early 2011 after a producer noticed young dancers at a club in Greater Buenos Aires, and it was active from 2011 to 2013, splitting amid lawsuits and internal conflicts before a 2019 reunion. A YouTube video passed 10 million views by January 2012, and its releases include "Tirate un paso" (2011), "Suena el bajo" (2011) and "Único" (2012). The existing entry for the singular "wachiturro" covers the street-style person; this entry covers the plural and the group.
