CHICHA LIBRE (11pm) COMBO DAGUERRE (10pm) TIPA TIPO (9pm) C.A.M.P,O.S (midnight)
DJ: Guillaume Steppin.
Back in 2008, CHICHA LIBRE launched the first psychedelic cumbia and chicha wave in North America with its debut album Sonido Amazonico: a tribute to 70’s Peruvian musicians from Lima and the Amazon and their eclectic mix of tropical rhythms and psychedelic sounds. After a long hiatus, Chicha Libre is back on the road, more cosmopolitan and psychedelic than ever. They just played a series of shows in Mexico and the US, collaborating with Son Rompe Pera, Los Mirlos and others and just performed one of KEXP's session.
COMBO DAGUERRE performs all original psychedelic chanson with a mostly Latin crew and a hybrid style informed by boleros, cumbia, 60s rock, French chanson and 1930s surrealism. It is music filled with joy and darkness, deep grooves and dirges, nostalgia and futurism.. The combo is named after one of the inventors of photography, as well as the name of a street in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, steps away from where bandleader Olivier Conan grew up – a street lovingly documented by Nouvelle Vague filmmaker Agnès Varda.
TIPA TIPO blends ’70s soft rock and disco with Latin rhythms to create a modern take on tropical yacht rock en español. Formed in Lima (Peru) by co-producers Adele Fournet and Felipe Wurst, the group now plays live as a trio delivering the power of a larger ensemble through synth bass lines, tight vocal harmonies, and electric guitar/keyboard textures. Their debut album, Cintas (2024), fuses retro pop with Peruvian cumbia, following two acclaimed EPs and a Lincoln Center debut. With airplay on KEXP, WFUV, and NPR’s World Café - along with write ups in Paste, Rolling Stone, and Bandcamp - they are set to release a new LP in 2026.
C.AM.P.O.S. Cumbias And More Psychedelic Original Sounds or C.A.M.P.O.S. is a project of Joshua Camp (Chicha Libre, One Ring Zero). Cumbias, and more specifically the psychedelic era of Cumbias Peruanas are the beating heart of the band's sound - with additional inspiration from the cinematic music of Ennio Morricone, the circus soundtrack compositions of Nino Rota, and the production style of the Latin Playboys.
