The Jam Jar, Bristol
Los Pirañas is an international instrumental supergroup that has been pushing the boundaries of Latin tropical music for some time now. This band represents thé psychedelic sound of contemporary Colombia and has been spearheading the revival of the Colombian music scene.
For almost 30 year Eblis Alvarez (Meridian Brothers), Mario Galeano (Frente Cumbiero, Ondatropica) and Pedro Ojeda (Romperayo) have been putting their eccentric stamp on Latinamerican styles like vallenato, Peruvian chicha, and Colombian champeta, just to name a few.
Los Pirañas combine these styles with a rock attitude, noisy improvisations and absurd musical humor. Think of Captain Beefheart in an exotic mood. Completely crazy, but very danceable and enjoyable at the same time.
They release their 4th album in early March, just ahead of the show at The Jam Jar!
“Los Pirañas are pushing Colombian music into new places (maybe even pushing too far for some tastes), giving it a raw, punk energy with a level of musicianship that knows no bounds.” – Songlines
“Colombian guitar-bass-drums trio continue their sci-fi, instrumental rock ‘n roll experiments on traditional cumbia. […] It only gets wilder.” - MOJO
Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
