KUMBIA BORUKA | Cumbia, Latin Rhythms | Concert

Description

KUMBIA BORUKA (Mexico/France)
Kumbia Boruka is performing with us for the fourth time, and for good reason. The multicultural band with eight musicians from Mexico, Chile, Argentina, and France, now based in Lyon, has long established itself as a crowd favorite in Chur. Their roots lie in Monterrey, in northern Mexico, where Cumbia is the anthem of the neighborhood and where the legend of Mexican Cumbia, Celso Piña, was born. Bandleader Hernán Cortés learned the accordion from this great master and accompanied him as a percussionist on long international tours.
The band's music reflects the sound of Mexican streets, a mix of classic Cumbia with influences from reggae, dub, and tropical music. Psychedelic electric guitar melodies, a broad rhythm section with guacharaca and congas, powerful brass arrangements, and the unmistakable sound of the accordion. The result is a new Cumbia, hybrid and full of energy, intense tropical sounds with a wild energy that embraces the rhythms of Latin America.
After the success of their first two albums "La Vida se Vive" and "El Remedio" and over 400 concerts across Europe, the band released their third album "Santa Suerte" in 2023. Five of their songs are also featured in the soundtrack of the Netflix documentary series "Maradona in Mexico".
Members: Hernán Cortés (vocals, accordion), Christian Briseño (vocals), Tadeo Cortés (congas, guacharaca), Jonathan Cortez Castillo (bass), Miguel Mino (guitar), Cyril Gelly (drums), Clément Buisson (trumpet), Félix Mercier (trombone)
