Chicha Libre
chicha, cumbia
Brooklyn's Chicha Libre is at the forefront of the global revival of Chicha, the psychedelic cumbia from 1970s Peru. Led by Olivier Conan, the multinational combo blends vintage surf guitars, organs, and Latin percussion with their own original compositions and a freeform approach. Their live shows are a vibrant, danceable journey into tropical psychedelia, both nostalgic and refreshingly inventive.
