DOORS 7 / MUSIC 8
Romperayo, led by drummer Pedro Ojeda, is one of the Colombian bands redefining the new Tropical sound out of Bogotá, along with Meridian Brothers, Frente Cumbiero and Los Pirañas - and it is no coincidence that Pedro should be involved with 3 out of those 4 bands.
A virtuoso drummer and percussionist who remains firmly rooted in tropical dance rhythms, Pedro mixes sounds from both Colombian coasts with accordion and light electronic elements. In addition to Pedro, the trio will be comprised of Nicolas Eckardt (of La Sonora Mazuren) and Ivan Medellin (of Conjunto Media Luna). Their shows have universal appeal and can please dancers, musicians and fans of cumbia and champeta as well as psych.rock and experimental music enthusiasts from all the Americas.
Romperayo has been touring Europe and South America for over a decade, but this is their first U.S. tour.
