PSYCHEDELIC ROCK / SURF ROCK / CUMBIA
“Los Bitchos’ Let the Festivities Begin! is retro, wide-reaching, and as festive as the title promises [...] Here, we coast on vibes and guitar licks, navigating a surf-rock odyssey by way of Argentine cumbia, Peruvian chicha, and Turkish psych.”
Let the festivities begin! The energetic London-based pancontinental, mostly instrumental four-piece Los Bitchos are undoubtedly one of the breakthrough bands of 2022. Their unique sound is a signature blend of Peruvian chicha, Argentine cumbia, Turkish psych and wavy surf guitars. Their debut album Let the Festivities Begin!, released in 2022, brings a sense of discovery, while the lack of vocals gives the sound a uniquely communal feel as if each song is a conversation between equals.
