Going Left Music

Cumbia de Mu***os is back on Halloween night at Tractor Tavern, Sunset Tavern, and Percy's!

Cumbia de Mu***os is a cumbia festival and celebration of Día de Mu***os that takes place at three venues along Ballard Ave on the night of Halloween. This year Cumbia de Mu***os is excited to bring Mexican artist, Pahua, as a headliner. Known for her fusion of electronic music with traditional Latin sounds, her live set is a non-stop dance party filled with dreamy vocals and energetic percussion. The rest of the lineup features psychedelic electro cumbia from Terror/Cactus, West-coast cumbia from San Jose producer Philthy Dronez,  the mind-bending cumbia-kraut wizards known as Dreckig, and some of the best local cumbia DJs in the Pacific Northwest.
