<h3>Chucho Ponce Los Daddy’s de Chinantla</h3>Born in Brooklyn, NY to immigrant parents from Apatzingan, Michoacan, and Chinantla, Puebla, Chucho Ponce grew up surrounded by rap, cumbia sonidera, and baladas. In high school, he produced hip-hop beats before channeling his production knowledge into cumbia sonidera. After the unexpected death of his father, at age 19 Chucho decided to move to his father’s village to follow his cumbia sonidera dreams as Chucho Ponce Los Daddys de Chinantla. Their latest album Puebla York expands their diasporic sound. From the streets of Williamsburg, Bushwick, and Bed-Stuy to the village of Chinantla, Puebla (population 3000), Chucho Ponce Los Daddys cosmopolitan background, experiences, and return migration shapes their unique sound.

<h3>Yeison Landero </h3>Yeison Landero was born in San Jacinto (Bolívar) in the heart of Los Montes de María located in the Caribbean region of Colombia. His grandfather, Andrés Landero was one of the most famous accordionists, known as the “King of Cumbia.” Today, having received all this legacy from his grandfather, Yeison, known as the “Heir to Cumbia,” is not only one of the greatest accordion players, but also is working to create his own traditional style. His first album, Landero Vive (2018) is a posthumous tribute to his grandfather’s legacy. In 2019, Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto invited him to participate in recording the album El Último Cacique, which was nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for "Best Folk Album" in 2020. That same year, he received Grammy nomination in the "Cumbia-vallenata" category for his collaboration on the song "Llora Mi Acordion" by Los Cumbia Stars from Medellín.

<h3>Turbo Sonidero</h3>Turbo Sonidero is a music producer, DJ, and record collector from San Jose, CA who continues to pioneer the global boom of cumbia through his innovative sound. Turbo Sonidero’s performances and albums blend cumbia sonidera with R &amp; B oldies, bringing a hip-hop sensibility to pitched down cumbia rebajada, and recognizing loop- and sample-based kumbia editada as avant garde electronic music. His cosmic sound comes from Cyber Aztlán--a reimagination of the mythical Aztec ancestral land. His albums include Lowrider Kumbias and Grupo Jejeje’s self-titled debut album, both released by Discos Rolas.

<h3>DJ Chihuahua</h3>Hailing from the vibrant streets of Brooklyn, NY with his parents’ roots tracing back to Puebla City and Chinantla Puebla, DJ Chihuahua has carved out a distinctive niche in the world of Cumbia as a pioneering figure in the realm of Editadas now known as Cumbia Wepa. Highlighted by the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/08/nyregion/nyc-dj-cumbia.html" title="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/08/nyregion/nyc-dj-cumbia.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">New York Times</a>, DJ Chihuahua’s unique sound has garnered widespread recognition, earning him a reputation as one of the foremost authorities in the Cumbia Editada genre.

<h3>Discos Rolas</h3>Discos Rolas is an independent record label and creative ethnographic collaboration founded by multidisciplinary artist Gary Garay (Ganas) and anthropologist Alexandra Lippman (Xandão) in 2018. They follow musical and sonic connections within Latin America through album releases, screenings, dance parties, artist talks, and long-term collaborations with artists, designers, photographers, and musicians.
