His catchy sound transformed him into a notable reference for a new generation of artists. Ritmos Tropicosmos is a seven piece psychedelic cumbia group, from Oakland, creating heavy tropical rhythms with an emphasis on live percussion, synthesizers and familial stories put into song. Esotérica Tropical: is a queer Boricua bruja who transcends musical boundaries with her commanding voice, intuitive folk harp, and a fusion of Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba rhythms and electronic innovation. Her work boldly challenges colonial mentality, advocating for sovereignty and surrealism. Singer-songwriter María José Montijo, creator of Esotérica Tropical, draws inspiration from over 20 years of experience as a healer –including tai-chi and qi-gong practice, daoist cosmology, meditation, studying bodywork, and practicing traditional medicine and acupuncture. Her music is rooted in a continuous process of discovery and care, where trauma is transformed into art. DJ Lizzy al Toque
