KUMBIA BORUKA | live Cumbia Band (8-Köpfig)

As a proven format, our friends from KUMBIA BORUKA return, highlighting CUADRO22's ongoing expertise in Latin American music culture.

KUMBIA BORUKA

Kumbia Boruka is a multicultural band from Lyon, France, consisting of eight musicians from Mexico, Chile, Argentina and France. The band's roots lie in the city of Monterrey in northern Mexico, where cumbia is the anthem of the neighborhood and where the legend of Mexican cumbia, Celso Piña, was born. Hernán Cortés, the director of Kumbia Boruka, learned to play the accordion from this great master and accompanied him on long international tours.

The band's music reflects the sound of Mexican streets: classic cumbia mixed with influences of reggae, dub and tropical music - psychedelic electric guitar melodies, an extended rhythm section with guacharaca and congas, powerful and exciting brass arrangements and last but not least the brilliant sound of the accordion. This is Kumbia Boruka!

The result is a new cumbia, hybrid and full of power, intense tropical sounds with a wild energy that encompasses the rhythms of Latin America.

After the success of her two albums "La Vida se Vive" and "El Remedio", as well as more than 400 concerts in many parts of the European continent during almost ten years of experience, Kumbia Boruka will release her third album called "Santa Suerte" in November 2023.
