THE HISTORY OF GUNPOWDER
Ask any sweaty, beaming fan as they exit a History of Gunpowder show and you will hear the same thing: “unforgettable”. The History is gritty, high energy and, quite honestly, chaotic. Somehow they walk the haywire while executing lush, expansive arrangements. Growling blues vocals over danceable funk rhythms compel audiences across North America and Europe to boogie down and surf the crowd. A genuine 'Freakout Orchestra', their powerhouse horn section, violin, and pedal steel make every show a unique, electric sonic experience.

Blending cumbia, salsa, surf-rock, and jazz, their sound is vibrant and experimental. Their latest album, Creepy Mambo, reimagines Cumbia with synths, dub grooves, and bold percussion for an unforgettable musical experience.
