Romperayo is part of the new Colombian music scene that re-interprets their roots in a fascinating way, combining both traditional rhythms and modern electronics. It’s bordering on utter weirdness, but at the same time very danceable and full of musical humor too. Other bands from this scene are Meridian Brothers, Frente Cumbiero and Los Pirañas. Pedro Ojeda, drummer of Romperayo, happens to be the drummer from Los Pirañas too as well as being a key member of the Ondatropica band alongside Quantic.
¡Cumbia Mi Amor! w/ Romperayo
08.03.2024
¡Cumbia Mi Amor! is back in March at Fox & Firkin with very special guests Romperayo making their UK debut, flying in from Bogota to bring a psychedelic sound explosion to blow away the winter cobwebs and send you to trance dance state.
Romperayo sounds like a fast moving musical journey through Colombian tropical folklore, a mischievous and modern interpretation of the psychedelic sounds of 70s cumbia and other tropical rhythms. Expect musical fireworks that don’t only move your hips and feet, but also direct your brain into a blissful mood.
