Son Rompe Pera | ZMF Freiburg

In the organizer's words:

The Mexican Son Rompe Pera inspire with their cumbia punk and at the same time the highest level of virtuosity on the marimba. The Gama brothers began playing the traditional marimba as children. In an act of youthful rebellion, however, they turned to punk and psychobilly. Now they have come full circle and are at the forefront of the contemporary international cumbia scene with their musical fusion of rock music and the classical marimba.

During live shows, the garage-cumbia-marimba-punk band never disappoints and makes dance lovers sweat. Their authenticity is evident in their modern interpretations of Mexican, Peruvian and Colombian classics as well as in their own compositions and surprising covers. The contrast between the traditional marimba, with youthful attitude and street style, connects the audience with the past while dancing into the future.

Son Rompe Pera released their debut album in March 2020, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and became famous for their weekend performances at Parque Mexico.

At ZMF, they will impress with their infectious good humor, passionate marimba playing and a rousing stage show.
