El Combo Oscuro

El Combo Oscuro hails from the sweat-drenched discotecas of Austin, Texas. Formed in 2020, their sound combines the trills of the vintage organ paired with gnarled guitar stylings played over the driving pulses of a thumping rhythm section to create an impenetrable wall of psychedelic cumbia and Latin sounds. The group finds itself pulling influences from Cumbia, Mambo, Chicha, Tropicalia and other styles to create something genuinely danceable…“netamente bailable”. Latin Big Band meets Psychedelia on the dance floor, if you will. There’s no doubt about it - this music sounds like Austin. Follow us on Instagram!
