  • A celebrated instrumental supergroup from Bogotá, Los Pirañas brings together three of Colombia’s most visionary musicians: Eblis Álvarez (Meridian Brothers, Chúpame el Dedo), Mario Galeano (Frente Cumbiero, Ondatrópica), and Pedro Ojeda (Romperayo, Chúpame el Dedo). Fusing the rich tapestry of South American rhythms—cumbia, champeta, tropicalia, salsa, and more—with avant-psych rock, dub minimalism, and spiked jazz, they embody retro-futurism at its boldest. Shapeshifting, absurdist, rooted, and prescient, Los Pirañas are a transmission from the outer zones. Their journey began as high school friends in Bogotá, driven by a love of riffs, heavy beats, and raw guitar noise. Decades later, with international acclaim and projects spanning continents, they reunite to channel that youthful energy through the prism of mastery and time. Their latest album, "Historia Natural", captures this balance: innocence meets experience, primal spirit meets sophisticated sound, and tradition meets experimental freedom. Spacehall Sound Machine is a psychedelic dance band based in San Diego, CA. Their sound is a combination of explosive rhythms from West Africa & Latin America, dub, driving post-punk bass lines, psychedelic rock, funk breakbeats, and haunting melodies from the Middle East. Creating hypnotic instrumental grooves, Spacehall Sound Machine is designed to move bodies on the dance floor and take adventurous minds on an interstellar journey. The ensemble is the brainchild of Matt Bozzone, a drummer who has spent the past 12+ years touring the U.S. with a variety of artists in the global groove scene, including Nigerian Afro-Beat masters Seun Kuti & Egypt 80.
