The new punk
All Cruïlla Festivals are different, but they all have one thing in common: that concert you didn’t even know was scheduled, which you stumble upon by chance while waiting between the artists you came to see and which ends up being your best discovery of the festival. Whether you enjoy them unintentionally or you’ve come just to see them, get ready to fall in love with Son Rompe Pera!
This essential band from Naucalpan, Mexico, has defined the genre of “cumbia punk” and captivated thousands of fans around the world with their unique sound and live performances full of percussion and energy. Their second album, ‘Chimborazo’, shakes up their roots with tropical dances, psychedelic guitars, brass, and even some dub and hip-hop, and has led them to perform on the most important international stages, including La Mercè in Barcelona, where they surprised us last September. It is a rebellious and irreverent album, where they question everything they knew about cumbia until then. It was recorded over seven days in Colombia, the birthplace of this genre, giving way to a stage show that celebrates the legacy of cultures and connects corners and styles from around the world. In short, this Mexican brothers’ project celebrates family, home, marimbas, punk, and the party that is to be alive.
Next Saturday July 11th, we will have the opportunity to enjoy them again in Barcelona during the Festival Cruïlla 2026: come and give it your all with the new punk!
