Melbourne Cumbia Fest 2026 
October 4 / 4-10 pm
 
For this year’s celebration we have the presentation of the renowned Colombian group Ghetto Kumbe 🇨🇴 making their Australian debut bringing their very distinctive sound, mixing in a unique way the indigenous and African music that converse between instruments, voices and visual elements with electronic beats. With support from La Descarga band, Australia’s long-standing Afro-Colombian powerhouse, blending deep basslines, hypnotic gaitas and psychotropic tropical funk. 

Behind the decks, selectors Cuerpo Negro, Otorongo, Soa Gabi and Zafiro will play a kaleidoscopic mix of tropical frequencies — from the raw roots of Afro-Caribbean cumbia to an electric mix of Peruvian chicha, Argentinean villera, Chilean neocumbia, Mexico’s narcotic rebajadas, cumbia digital, cumbia dub, and more!

Plus dance performances by Colombian group DEG

At its core, cumbia is the groove that unites a continent — born on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, where Indigenous flutes, African drums, and coloniser’s melodies collided to create a rhythm that danced its way across Latin America. As it travelled, it absorbed new sounds and flavours at every stop, eventually becoming the musical backbone of the continent and a sound that keeps reinventing dance floors worldwide.

Melbourne Cumbia Fest 2026 is supported by:
Mincultura 🇨🇴 
Cocreaorg 🇨🇴 
Multicultural Arts Victoria
