Don't Miss
Composed of 11 members, Portland’s Orquestra Pacifico Tropical bring the happy noise. With trumpets, maracas, guitars, drums, and accordions in hand, the group pays respect to cumbia beats and rhythms from across Latin America. Seattle’s Terror/Cactus are like cumbia on acid. Psychedelic and electrified, their music reinterprets the genre, compelling you to move, but like maybe some trippers might be fun too? The two bands will be joined by DJ Chilly, the producer and host of El Sonido, KEXP’s “modern Latin mixshow” that airs on Monday nights and which you should absolutely be listening to.
