Kacho, Kilos and Mongo Gama, the three brothers who drive the marimba-driven cumbia combo Son Rompe Pera polished their chops as street musicians in Mexico City, perfecting a raucous and modern reinvention of the genre that draws from ska, rockabilly and punk. The result is a sound that straddles old and new, distinctly danceable and entirely accessible for younger audiences unfamiliar with the rich Pan-Latin tradition of cumbia music. Son Rompe Pera has since achieved success on the global music festival scene, particularly in Chile. For their Lincoln Center debut, the band will perform a set of rambunctious, high-energy songs from their recently released debut LP, named after and inspired by their late father and bandleader, Batuco.
