Kings of cumbia punk, Mexico City’s Son Rompe Pera breathe new life into the traditional Mexican marimba, marrying its familiar sound with punk and psychobilly. They learned marimba alongside their father as kids and fell in love with rock music as teenagers – now, they command enormous dance floors with music that equally delights traditional cumbia fans and youngsters eager to start a mosh pit. Having released their debut LP just as the Covid-19 pandemic began, they grew their fanbase online, and, post-pandemic, have toured the United States twice with luminaries like PANTEON ROCOCO and are slated for many international festivals in the coming year.
