- ***CUMBIA VORTEX, with LA PERLA (from Bogotá) LA BANDA CHUSKA plus DJs and special guests.***

**Cumbia is the new rock & roll. Cumbia is the new punk. Cumbia is the most potent beat to ever get out of Colombia and is now represented worldwide - in the Latin world and beyond - with live bands, DJs and digital producers adapting it to urban settings, dance floors and concerts stages in every corner of the planet.**

**After the success of last year’s first Cumbia Vortex event - which presented Son Rompe Pera and Meridian Brothers - here comes the 2024 edition of Cumbia Vortex, building on the success of Barbès long-running Tropical Vortex series, with Bogotá’s own La Perla playing their version of cumbia, curulao, Bullerengue and other tropical beats, and Brooklyn’s La Banda Chuska, mixing up cumbia, Peruvian chicha, South American Surf and a homegrown indie edge.**

- ***LA PERLA***

**https://laperlabogota.bandcamp.com/album/callejera**

**La Perla from Bogotá, is a voice and percussion trio made up of Karen Forero, Giovanna Mogollón and Diana Sanmiguel. For over 15 years, the three women have been researching the musical traditions of the Caribbean coast – Gaitas and tambor , bullerengue, cumbia, bailes cantados – and their repertoire reflects both their deep knowledge of those traditions, and their talent at composing new pieces based on tradition. La Perla has toured extensively in Europe and Latin America, and their song La Bruja was featured in the Netflix series Siempre Bruja.**

- ***LA BANDA CHUSKA***

**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. While clearly inspired by vintage Latin psychedelia, the collective is clearly rooted in present day Brooklyn and doesn’t shy away from iconoclastic experiments. 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.**
