Kumbia Queers is Argentine tropical-punk band, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2007.[1][2]
History
[edit]The project was born in Buenos Aires in 2007, the union of She Devils, Juana Chang and Florencia Lliteras (Happy Makers), (Argentina), with Ali Gua Gua of Las Ultrasónicas (México).[3] At first, they played covers of The Cure, Madonna, Ramones, Black Sabbath, twisting them to the rhythm of cumbia with lyrics full of queer poetry and humor.[4] With their third album, 2012 appeared, the group turned to their own songs and lyrics mainly.[5]
In 2012, the band went on their third tour in Europe. Within 27 days they played at 23 locations from Stockholm to Madrid in a total of 25 concerts.[6] 2014 was the band in Latin America and - at the invitation of the jury of the SXSW Festival - traveling in the United States. In summer 2015, the Kumbia Queers returned to Europe and performed with a new lineup, without Ali Gua Gua.
