Ritmos Tropicosmos brings their cosmic cumbia to the KALX studios on August 24th at 9pm with host, DJ Penny Royal.
Ritmos Tropicosmos is a seven piece psychedelic cumbia group from Oakland, creating heavy tropical rhythms with an emphasis on live percussion, synthesizers and familial stories put into song. Together in a time-warped crossroads of electric and acoustic instrumentation, Ritmos Tropicosmos stands somewhere within the traditional rhythms of the past and the futuristic soundscapes of The Now.
Ritmos Tropicosmos delivered their debut 8-song LP for Summer 2024 on Econo Jam Records entitled La Vida Es Pa’ Vivir. You can find the band performing around the Bay in as soon as September including at Live at Lagunitas (9/9), Kilowatt (9/18), and Freight & Salvage (10/25).
