Rhythm mutates into something unruly in the hands of Los Pirañas. Drawing from the deep musical traditions of Colombia, the trio twists familiar forms into hypnotic, unpredictable excursions where groove, distortion and playfulness move as one.
Formed by three of Colombia's most adventurous musicians—Eblis Álvarez (Meridian Brothers), Mario Galeano (Frente Cumbiero, Ondatrópica) and Pedro Ojeda (Romperayo)—Los Pirañas have spent nearly three decades reshaping tropical music from the inside. Vallenato, cumbia, champeta and Peruvian chicha become raw material for restless experimentation, propelled by wiry guitar lines, elastic bass, explosive percussion and a fearless instinct for improvisation.
Their music refuses nostalgia. It expands tradition into something alive and elastic, balancing meticulous musicianship with surreal detours and an infectious sense of momentum. Every outing unfolds with the energy of a band willing to follow an idea wherever it leads, shifting effortlessly between intricate rhythmic interplay, noisy textures and irresistible dancefloor propulsion.
The trio has built a devoted international following through appearances at festivals including Roskilde, Druga Godba and Best Kept Secret, establishing themselves as one of the defining voices in Colombia's contemporary underground. Following Historia Natural (2019), their return brings a new chapter with fresh material set for release on Glitterbeat, reaffirming their singular approach to psychedelic tropical music.
DJ: Super Muñeca
Joining the night is Malmö-based producer, DJ and cultural curator Super Muñeca, the musical project of Lora Grigorova. Drawing on years immersed in cumbia and its contemporary mutations, her sets move through electronic and urban rhythms from across Hispanic America, weaving genres and geographies into a fluid, high-energy trip built for the dancefloor. As artistic director of Malmö’s Congona Festival and production manager of Wakan Tanka Prod and Wakan Tanka Records, she brings a deep connection to the scene behind the selections.
