#cumbia

Once the soundtrack of the working class, cumbia's simple, yet contagious, rhythm absorbed local styles, morphed, and reinvented itself. It has traveled underground through the veins of Latin America and spread throughout the world, from the remote villages of the Ecuadorian Andes to the bars of downtown Los Angeles. It has become one of the most listened-to genres in the Americas, symbolizing Latin American identity.

Hailing from San Francisco, Bululú brings a tropical, Latin vibe to the Bay Area. And this weekend, they will be playing a free show with Salinas' Flaco El Jandro y Sus Perros Callejeros (who mix punk, cumbia, and soul) and El Pecado de Juana (a Bay Area Bolero rock trio) for a celebration of Latin and Chicano music and culture.
