A special ‘Mexican Independence Day’ collaboration between Bristol’s favourite vintage tropical selectors La Bomba & London party instigators Movimientos!

Bringing the sounds of Mexico to the fiesta are the 9-piece Cumbia explosion Kumbia Boruka – with their heavy ‘nueva cumbia’ sound drawing on their origins in Monterrey as well as referencing classic Mexican, Colombian & Peruvian sounds.

Guest selector Dr Calavera (Monterrey) also joins the party alongside La Bomba’s Boom Operator and John Stapleton & Movimientos’ Cal Jader & Gypsy Box

Bringing the sounds of Mexico to the fiesta are the 9-piece cumbia band Kumbia Boruka. Their roots are to be found in Monterrey, the cumbia capital of Mexico, where Hernan Cortés, their accordion player and band leader, grew up he later learnt to play the accordion from the living legend of Mexican cumbia, Celso Piña, but he was also the percussionist in Piña’s band during many tours.

Their unique ‘nueva cumbia’ sound mixes their own contemporary and festive compositions whilst bringing new flavours to classic cumbias with influences from reggae, dub, African music and Peruvian Chicha. All expertly put together with an extensive rhythm section and powerful brass arrangements, as well as a fierce Latin energy that will blow your mind!
