Kumbia Boruka

The band Kumbia Boruka have their roots in Monterrey, the Mexican capital of cumbia music, where bandleader and accordionist Hernán Cortés grew up in the 1980s. Cortés was taught accordion by cumbia legend Celso Piña, and played percussion in his band, touring internationally for many years. Kumbia Boruka enlivens the classic cumbia sound of the 1960s with influences from reggae, dub, Peruvian chicha, rock and psychedelic guitars, a heavy rhythm section, and powerful horn arrangements—creating what they they call ‘Nueva Kumbia’.
