SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY SHOW and RELEASE PARTY FOR
SON ROMPE PERA and LA BANDA CHUSKA /
Plus Sonido Talacha / Little Dynasty (NYCT) / Conan / Crown Vic (Electric Cowbell)
The Gama brothers, who lead the band Son Rompe Pera, have updated the Mexican Marimba tradition and seem to have singlehandedly brought it into the 22d century. Heirs to a tradition that goes back a few generations, they were first taught by their father with whom they played on the street for years. After a few detours through punk and rockabilly, they have now updated their sound, play mostly cumbia, and are possibly the best party band in Mexico City. They will also be celebrating the release of the new 7",a collaboration with Gil Guttierez, a Mexican guitarist usually heard in classical and jazz contexts, but with a strong taste for Mexican traditions.
La Banda Chuska takes inspiration from the twangy surf music of 1960s Peru (Los Belkings, Los Siderals) as well as the more psychedelic flavors of chicha (Los Destellos, Los Shapis). Their post-punk energy has also drawn comparisons to a tropical version of the B-52s.
They will be celebrating the release of their new cassette EP
With Felipe Wurst and Sam Day Harmet on guitars, Adele Fournet on organ, Erica Mancini on accordion, Abe Pollack on bass, and Joel Mateo on drums.
