Their music has been described as "electro tropical" and "psychedelic cumbia", taking in a global palette of sounds that run from pop to electro. Appropriately, according to founding member Simón Mejía and singer Li Saumet, the band's name is a Colombian term for "a really cool, awesome, bad ass party" and with A-listers like Will Smith or Sofi Tukker previously joining the Bomba posse for an infectious dancefloor collaboration, it feels like everyone wants to be on this invite list.
With a string of Grammy and Latin Grammy nominations under their belt, Bomba Estéreo were invited to tour as support for Arcade Fire’s Everything Now World Tour, which saw them pick up a whole new family of fans across Europe and the US. In 2018, the band reached the worldwide Top 500 most listened to artists on Spotify, so a return to London for their biggest headline date so far with a new record is big news.
Anticipating a set list filled to the brim with party vibes, we can’t wait to welcome Bomba Estéreo’s unique high energy fiesta to light up our Summer Series stage.
“Bomba Estéreo whip up an irresistible carnival of rhythm”
