D\u00eda de Muertos: Lo Poloko
Advertisement
This year we are going to celebrate Día de Muertos again with Lo Poloko! Lo Poloko is a collective of musicians whose roots run deep in Mexican, Chilean, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese cultures that found each other in Rotterdam. With their mind-blowing sound journey all around the world, they will make it yet another real Big Tropical Bang at GROUNDS this year.
From Mariachi balkan brass and bombastic latin grooves to hyper energetic percussion, a unique combination of sounds designed to make you dance as if it would be your last day on Earth.
"Día de Muertos" is a two day celebration that reunites the living and dead where families create “ofrendas” (offerings) to honor their departed family members that have passed, encouraging those departed souls to leave the land of the dead and celebrate with the living ones. Please feel free to bring your own “ofrendas” to the party and join us in this amazing celebration!
Having latin music as a core concept, Lo Poloko's music is a perpetual search for new sounds, shredding countless different styles into Lo Poloko machine. Rock, Ska, Cumbia, Reggae, Balkan, Dub… they embrace them all!
Support act: Chica Chica
Psychedelic cumbia, exotic film scores and danceable grooves form the base for Chica Chica’s exciting music. Born out of the desire to travel, this trio takes you on a road-trip back in time. Funky melodic bass lines, boisterous wah-wah guitars and South American percussion. Organic and gritty, sunny and full of life. Like the analogue photo on your favourite Peruvian LP.
This emerging band started playing live in the summer of ‘22 and released their debut album in late ’23. Singles ‘Disco L’Africain’ and ‘Year of the Dragon’ both found their way into the rotation of NPO Soul and Jazz. Last year, they performed at ESNS, played at numerous summer festivals, and toured the Netherlands as part of the Popronde. Now, they are working on their second album, which will be released in 2026.
