With a long and successful career, Frente Cumbiero has become one of the biggest representatives in the exploration of cumbiaâs sonic identity in Latin America. Headed by Mario Galeano Toro (also founding member of OndatrĂłpica and Los Pirañas), Frente Cumbiero is recognized as a spearhead of Colombiaâs new cumbia movement. Among Frenteâs most remarkable live appearances, they have played New Yorkâs MoMA, Festival EstĂ©reo Picnic, Roskilde Festival, Womad, SĂłnar, and Fuji Rock. They have toured across Latin America, Africa, Europe, the U.S., Russia, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Frente Cumbiero has collaborated with legendary musicians such as Mad Professor, Kronos Quartet, Orquesta La Delio Valdez, and Minyo Crusaders, proving to expand the frontiers of cumbia and Latin folk music. Active for well over a decade, Frente Cumbiero are the true followers of the guacharaca, the emblematic instrument of Colombian cumbia. In 2020, they released the critically acclaimed EP âMinyo Cumbiero: From Tokyo To Bogotaâ with Minyo Crusaders, and their second album âCera Perdidaâ. They are now working on their next album, set to be released in Spring 2025.
