MAKENU - Psychedelic Cumbia

Makenu is a vibrant, psychedelic cumbia band that blends the traditional rhythms of cumbia with a wide array of modern influences. Formed in Humboldt County in 2021, the band unites musicians from Chile, Argentina, Peru, Puerto Rico, and California, each bringing their unique musical background and energy to create an electrifying fusion that transcends borders and cultures.

With a sound that’s as diverse as its members, Makenu crafts a musical experience that goes beyond the stage. Their performances are immersive, high-energy celebrations where every beat invites audiences to dance and connect. Fusing traditional cumbia with elements of ska, hip hop, rock, Latin American music, and tropical vibes, Makenu's music is an irresistible blend of catchy rhythms, hypnotic melodies, and electrifying soundscapes.
