Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Cumbia is the new punk! CDMX psychobillies mash marimba and chicha into madcap party music. We bet you’ve not heard much like Son Rompe Pera: fried spaghetti licks, lashings of ska mexicano and mallet-driven thrash frenzy welded onto traditional Latinx rhythms. Tis a revolution in-waiting FFO: Los Pirañas, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Chicha Libre, Panteon Rococo."

A gig held at The Jam Jar on Thursday 11th December. The event starts at 19:30.
Born on the outskirts of Mexico City, the Gama brothers and their band’s punk ethos and now-infamous marimba mosh pit have trashed through all preconceived notions of what a marimba-centred band can be.
Their shows have become home to the now-infamous marimba mosh pit across the globe, joining intergenerational audiences in moments of essential release and community around their hard-hitting, forward-thinking, unrelenting punk-infused cumbias.
With two critically-acclaimed records under their belt, and hundreds of shows on some of the world’s most prestigious stages to a rapidly growing audience, the band stands vehemently by the fact that traditions are meant to be both honoured, broken, and built again.
Entry requirements: 18+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
