Description

Elbo Room presents a Cinco De Mayo Cumbia Party with

La Colectiva
featuring Toqueson with members of Fuga
Turbomex
plus DJ Sonido Diablo, DJ Rabeat, DJ Alonzo
and REPORTE ILEGAL


“'La Colectiva,' if translated, would be The collective. This best describes the south-bay based group of musicians. The embracement of all Latin American culture as its own, is what enables the group to have such a rich, and colorful combination of traditional latin sounds. Streetwize Salsa Dura/Cumbia and Vallenato of Colombia/Son Jarocho of Veracruz Mexico/Cuban Son/Guaracha/Afro-Peruvian Festejo/Lando rythyms are just some of the genres covered by La Colectiva’s member base. The groups cultural background spans over all the Americas; Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Peru, Puerto Rico. For the past 7 years, La Colectiva has been known to turn a get-together into a rumba; a party into a fieston, an after-party into an all night fandango, but to the musicians, each performance is viewed as an opportunity to expose people to the roots of modern latin music, which unfortunately is a long forgotten art form in today’s music scene."
