Chico Trujillo | Las Cafeteras

The dynamic L.A.-based Las Cafeteras combines the vibrant energy of Veracruz’s Son Jarocho with an edgy alternative sound. Its pounding Afro-Mexican rhythms, stomping zapateado dancing, and uplifting lyrics tell stories of everyday people searching for love and fighting for justice. 


After 10 years of playing in Santiago's cumbia-punk underground, Chico Trujillo has been hailed by The New York Times as a "world-class party band."  Fusing punk rock and classic Latin grooves with a touch of ska, this energetic eight-piece band has been the soundtrack to parties all around the world, including Lollapalooza, The Playboy Jazz Festival, and SXSW.
