Secret Planet Presents: Chicha Libre w/ Mimamar
with DJ sets from La Bodoquita and Baby Alcatraz

Chicha Libre is the first non Peruvian band to disseminate Chicha and psychedelic cumbia outside of Peru. They are mostly based in Brooklyn and just reformed in Mexico City, with an epic bill on Dia de los Muertos with Son Rompe Pera and Los Mirlos. The band always did well in Cali and still has a pretty strong following. After an 8 years hiatus, psychedelic cumbia group Chicha Libre is back with a new EP - Tequila y Aguardiente, a collaboration with Mexico’s Son Rompe Pera and Colombia’s La Sonora Mazuren - and just played its first live show for Dia de Los Muertos this past November, with Son Rompe Pera and legendary chicha band Los Mirlos - a multi-generational cumbia fest that took place at CDMX’s famed Salon Los Angeles. Chicha Libre started out in 2007 as a tribute to Peruvian pioneers but quickly evolved into an original project which MTV has cited as one of the world's preeminent Tropical Psychedelic band. Indeed, while they remain true to their Chicha roots, Chicha Libre's music quickly took a more psychedelic turn drawing from its members' alternative background. The band has proven especially popular in South America and Mexico but has also toured extensively in Europe and North America.

Miramar reimagines the Latin bolero and carries the torch of Bolero Beat—a genre that rose to international fame in the 1960s by blending nostalgic ballads with psychedelic rock, bossa nova, funk, jazz, and more. The sextet features the vocals of Rei Álvarez and Laura Ann Singh and is led by pianist Marlysse Simmons-Argandoña. Miramar’s members are based between Richmond, VA, and Brooklyn, NY, with ties to Puerto Rico, Chile and Brazil. The band’s name, meaning “look to the sea,” evokes the postcard-perfect seaside towns common throughout Latin America, reflecting their desire to capture the humble poetry of everyday life in music.
