This past September we launched Reina de Cumbia in Los Angeles, CA - ZZK Culture‘s first IRL event - with over 1500 attendees in 5 days of activities! We kicked off with an opening concert featuring FRENTE CUMBIERO o all the way from Bogota and LA legends very be careful. After we opened the doors to an immersive art exhibit with photos, illustrations, artwork, A/V activations featuring protagonists from CDMX and beyond. A special keynote presentation by Mario Galeano and a workshop by Son Rompe Pera kicked off our opening night. On nights 2 and 3 we presented documentary screenings by Alvaro Parra and Joyce Garcia, a panel discussion with Daniel Hernandez, Mirjam Wirz, Tropicaza, Ima Felini and Pablito Mix and on day 5 we threw an epic closing party - CUMBIATECA - to celebrate music in true fashion, dancing the night away.

We want to give special thanks to all the attendees and to the entire team and participants - over 100 artists, creatives and cultural managers - who brought this exciting, multi-activated art and music project to life!

Wait till you see what we have planned next ;-)

Tonight at 10 PM PST, TropiCANIBALISMO Eats Los Ángeles: The Hunger for a Cumbia of the Future with Mario Galeano from Frente Cumbiero.⁠
⁠
Tune in to this episode of Sonámbula Radio as we explore an experimental cumbia movement born in Bogotá, Colombia.⁠
⁠
Joining us is Mario Galeano from Frente Cumbiero, one of the originators of Tropicanibalismo. He’ll share how Bogotá, a city balancing between the tropical and the industrial, became the birthplace of a new cumbia—a sound that captures the grit of Colombian daily life with both haunting and hypnotic effects. Mario will also be giving a keynote presentation during the Reina de Cumbia festival on September 23rd, where he’ll delve deeper into this sonic evolution.⁠
⁠
And now, this cumbia wave is heading straight to LA with ZZK's Reina de Cumbia Festival!⁠
⁠
The festival kicks off on September 20th with performances by Frente Cumbiero and Very Be Careful at the Teragram Ballroom. More info here -> https://www.reinadecumbia.com/
