But it also describes Buyepongo Riotous mash-up of influences, which absorbs hip-hop, punk, funk, and jazz sounds into a delirious tropical blend of styles from across the Latin American diaspora. Like its name, the band is part hybrid, part invention, something untranslatable that nevertheless perfectly captures its uniquely vibrant spirit.Buyepongo has shared the stage with acts such as Miguel, Dolla Sign, Warren G, Common, ChicanoBatman, Quantic, Ondatropi, Ozomatli, Booker T, Celso Piña, Os Mutantes, Sister Nancy, Dead Prez, CutChemist, Beatnuts, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Antibalas,and Punta Cartel. They have performed in venues and festivals El Rey Theater, Grand Performances, World Cafe PhiladelphiaPA, KEXP, The Fillmore, Tropicalia Music Festival, Lightning in a Bottle Music Festival, Grand Park, Levitt Pavillion’s Summer Music Series, International Accordion festival, SXSW Official Showcase 2015.

They Toured through mainland China in 2018 Azerbaijan in 2019 and Equatorial Guinea in 2020.QUITAPENAS, one word – all caps, four syllables – all claps, gives you a taste of their rhythmic contagion. This tropical Afro-Latin combo was born under the warm California sun. They borrow aesthetics from the radical 60s, 70s and 80s. Each song echoes a remix of history and invites one to engage in the liberating evenings of Angola, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and beyond.Come to the FREE CONCERT at Grand Performances in DTLA on Saturday September 18th from 7 to 10 pm PST!For more information please visit <a href="https://www.grandperformances.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">grandperformances.org</a>.
