Kumbia Boruka blends traditional cumbia with reggae, dub, rock latino and Peruvian chicha into an explosive sound they call nueva cumbia. With an energetic show full of compelling rhythms and powerful brass, the band from Monterrey is going to make it a big party at GROUNDS. ¡Vamos Rayados!
Kumbia Boruka is a multicultural band with eight musicians from Mexico, Chile, Argentina and France. The band's roots lie in the city of Monterrey, in the north of Mexico, where cumbia is the anthem of the neighbourhood and where the legend of Mexican cumbia, Celso Piña, was born. Hernán Cortés, leader of Kumbia Boruka, learned to play the accordion from this great master and accompanied him on long international tours.
The music of the band reflects the sound of Mexican streets: classic cumbia mixed with influences of reggae, dub and tropical music - psychedelic electric guitar melodies, an extensive rhythm section including guacharaca and congas, powerful and exciting brass arrangements and last but not least the brilliant sound of the accordion. The result is a new cumbia, hybrid and full of power, intense tropical sounds with a fierce energy that embraces the rhythms of Latin America. That’s Kumbia Boruka!
After the success of their albums La Vida se Vive, El Remedio and Santa Suerta as well as more than 400 concerts in many parts of the European continent (including Zwarte Cross, Concert at Sea and LantarenVenster) during almost fifteen years of experience, Kumbia Boruka will now set GROUNDS on fire.
