Let loose to the psychedelic connections between Afro-Colombian rhythms, cumbia, and psych-rock! The quirky acid-heads in Los Pirañas have delivered unforgettable performances at both ALICE and Roskilde Festival, and now they are finally returning to Denmark this spring with a new album.

Imagine a trippy encounter between cumbia, Konono’s distorted trance music, hard-hitting techno, and tropical afrobeat. That’s the sound of the wacky acid-heads from Bogotá, Los Pirañas. Eblis Alvarez, Mario Galeano, and Pedro Ojeda are the three masterful musicians behind the project, which first took over Colombia’s sizzling underground scene in 2012 with the album “Toma Tu Jabón Kapax.” The three members are also active in groups like Meridian Brothers, Frente Cumbiero, and Romperayo, all of which have performed at ALICE several times.

Like no one else, Los Pirañas manage to blend trance-inducing dance music from around the world with their own musical roots – genres such as vallenato, Peruvian chicha, champeta, and raspa. And even though the three members pull their music in many directions, they’ve created a unique sound and a captivating groove that’s unmistakable. You can hear this on their brilliant records, and anyone lucky enough to have seen them perform at ALICE in 2018 can vouch for it. Live, Los Pirañas put on a thrilling show where their unstoppable joy of playing and trippy visuals extend far beyond the stage. When Los Pirañas return to ALICE, they’ll be presenting their latest album.
