Kumbia Boruka

Kumbia Boruka is a multicultural band based in Lyon, France with eight musicians from Mexico, Chile, Argentina and France. The band's roots lie in the city of Monterrey, in the north of Mexico, where cumbia is the anthem of the neighbourhood and where the legend of Mexican cumbia, Celso Piña, was born. Hernán Cortés, leader of Kumbia Boruka, learned to play the accordion from this great master and accompanied him on long international tours.

The music of the band reflects the sound of Mexican streets: classic cumbia mixed with influences of reggae, dub and tropical music - psychedelic electric guitar melodies, an extensive rhythm section including guacharaca and congas, powerful and exciting brass arrangements and last but not least the brilliant sound of the accordion. That´s Kumbia Boruka!
