Frente Cumbiero, one of the most innovative bands in Latin American music, arrives in Seattle as part of their Inconcreto &amp; Asociados world tour. Formed by Mario Galeano, Pedro Ojeda, Juan Sebastián Rozo, and Marco Fajardo, the Bogotá-based group has redefined the contours of modern cumbia through a powerful fusion of Colombian roots music, psychedelia, dub, and experimental electronics.With over 15 years of trajectory, Frente Cumbiero has taken their sound to some of the world’s most renowned stages, including Roskilde (Denmark), Womad, Fuji Rock (Japan), Estéreo Picnic (Colombia), and most recently Bahidorá in Mexico. Their new album Inconcreto &amp; Asociados, recorded between Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina, blends traditional wind and percussion arrangements with analog synths and deep rhythmic textures, an expansive, plural, and unbounded sonic journey.This project resists erasure, standing firm in its ability to honor the past while pushing tradition into the future. Their latest material reflects that legacy: otherworldly, genre-bending, and rooted in the rich musical histories that made their existence possible.Join us at Baba Yaga for an electrifying night featuring Frente Cumbiero’s 90-minute live set, flanked by two DJ sets that will keep the energy flowing from start to finish.<h3>&nbsp;DJ Chonta Chonta</h3>Chonta Chonta DJ is the selector alias of Alejandra Gómez, founder and director of Biche, a Colombia-based label and production house that spotlights alternative, peripheral, and deeply rooted Latin American sounds.Hailing from Cali, Colombia, Alejandra is a proud Valluna with a deep love for Latin alternative music.
