Fri 31 Jul 2026

Formed in Mexico City in 2010, Sonido Gallo Negro has become one of the leading names in contemporary psychedelic cumbia. Drawing inspiration from the roots of tropical psychedelic music, the band blends Peruvian cumbia with the sounds and aesthetics of the 1970s, creating a hypnotic mix of vintage grooves and modern energy.

Their distinctive sound combines electric guitars, eccentric organs, analog synthesizers, theremin, and infectious Latin American rhythms. The result is an exotic, psychedelic experience infused with esoteric influences that is as mesmerizing as it is danceable. Their live performances are further elevated by the hypnotic visuals created in real time by renowned visual artist Dr. Alderete, turning every concert into a fully immersive audiovisual journey.

Over the past decade, Sonido Gallo Negro has built an impressive international reputation, touring extensively throughout Europe and the Americas. Having performed in more than 20 countries and over 50 cities, the band has established itself as one of Mexico City's most celebrated musical exports. With five studio albums, a live record, and numerous collaborations to their name, they continue to push the boundaries of psychedelic tropical music while staying true to the infectious spirit of cumbia.

Whether on festival stages or in intimate venues, Sonido Gallo Negro continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of psychedelic sounds, tropical rhythms, and immersive live performances, proving why the band remains one of the most exciting acts in the global cumbia scene.
