The Hip Hop Hoodíos (from Spanish judíos = Jews) are a multilingual rock en español/alternative rock and hip hop band. They are composed of Federico Fong (former member of La Barranca, Jaguares and Caifanes), Josué Noriega (born Josh Norek), El Gato Escocés (Adam Salzman de Weinstein) and Abraham Vélez. Their debut album contains three songs based on different Latin styles as well as rock en español ("Ocho Kandelikas" being co-written by Juan Manuel Caipo from Orixa) and rap music; and two more rap-oriented tracks, one of them ("Dicks & Noses") being a version of the Delinquent Habits' "The Kind", the other featuring Abraham Velez on acoustic guitar. Even though the Hoodíos' approach is mostly humourous, unlike the 2 Live Jews their aim is clearly also to provide innovative music.
