La Chiva Gantiva & Frente Cumbiero, two of Colombia’s hottest musical exports.

La Chiva Gantiva's bone-shaking carnival punk-funk grooves take cumbia and Afrobeat to giddy new heights. Founded by Colombian expats living in Brussels, the diverse nationalities of the group - Colombian, French, Flemish, and Vietnamese, result in a cultural sound - clash, creating an irrepressible on-stage energy that has seen crowds go wild at the biggest festivals in Europe. Global influences include Red Hot Chill Peppers, Irakere, Fela Kuti and the founding father of funk, James Brown. Touring their explosive new album, Vivo - get ready for a firebomb of Latin grooves.
