Get ready to face a fearless outburst of tropicality that will tickle your brain on the dance spot!
Get your flashy get-up out. If you’re in need of a night of non-stop dancing, tropical commotions, boneshaking rhythms and explosive colourfulness, be sure to immerse yourself into La Descarga’s night of tropical boom.
This tropicality comes straight from the music and dance traditions of the Afro-Colombian regions from the Caribbean and Pacific coasts of Colombia, South America layered with the one and only Aussie power. The band has been playing for over a decade bringing closer and closer the coastal rhythms of the coffee country, also known for having a knack for throwing the best parties and its passionate people. So get ready for the fiesta and get your tropical fix!
Colombia is known as "The land of a thousand rhythms" holding over 1000 folk rhythms. La Descarga explores the roots and sounds of these many rhythms from the coasts including Cumbia, Gaita, Champeta, Porro, Currulao, Chandé, Mapalé, Tambora.
La Descarga has been influenced deeply by the street carnival cultures of Latin America with their upbeat music, colours and dance, mixing the old and the new grooves and moves of Colombian and world tropical culture; and bringing these vibes to the stage and street environments of many of Australia’s most beloved festivals including MOOMBA, Brunswick Music Festival, Australian Multicultural Festival, White Night Melbourne, Reservoir Stomp, Waterfront Festival and Darebin Music Feast.
La Descarga has released several singles including 'Eliminala', 'Chande Gozoso', and 'Alla en el Rio' and is warming up to release their debut LP in late 2024.
