LOS Cumpleaños
With an unmistakable, freewheeling style, Los Cumpleaños mixes tropical rhythms and experimental sounds into an energetic, danceable, free-form musical experience.
Citing influences as diverse as Colombian accordion legend Lisandro Meza, free jazz icon Sun Ra, and genre-bending artists like Flying Lotus and Tame Impala, Los Cumpleaños is a group that could only emerge from the cultural landscape of New York City.
The band features virtuoso percussionist/vocalist Nestor Gomez (Barranquilla, Colombia), Lautaro Burgos (Chaco, Argentina) on drumset, along with Eric Lane on keyboards and Alex Asher on trombone.
Members of Los Cumpleaños have performed with a wide range of artists including Aníbal Velásquez, Lisandro Meza, Porfi Baloa y sus Adolescentes, Juan Piña, Alfredo Gutiérrez, MAKU Soundsystem, Orquesta Dee Jay, Beyoncé, Joan as Police Woman, People's Champs & The Superpowers.
