Live Latin music is back at Grow, Hackney and this time celebrating the popular Latin American Fiestas Patrias from Colombia and Peru.
We welcome Los Bravos de la K’umbia, full-power tropical– psychedelic band bringing the classic sounds of Cumbia and Chicha. The band brings to life Chicha Music, the hybrid sound popular in the 1960s and 1970s that blends Amazonic and cumbia rhythms with psychedelic effects.
Expect fierce Latin energy with the amplified strum of surf guitars ripping across a percussive bed of conga slaps, powerful cowbell and timbal sounds, bold bass, sweet Andean flute melodies and the gurgling rasp of a guiro.
£5 after 9pm
On the decks, DJ Carlitos Nino introduces the sounds of Latin America, from vintage vinyl sounds of Cumbia, Salsa brava, and Tropical to modern rhythms, Latin funk disco, Tropical Bass, Electro, Pico and Sonidero Soundsystem including remixes from around the world.
Chicha music fuses the tropical sounds of cumbia with the traditional Andean sounds. Additional influences from international genres such as surf and psychedelic rock, salsa, and even techno give Chicha a distinct sound. Although Chicha is to be considered as one genre, it is also possible to recognize different styles, which somehow are related to the regional origins of migrants.
