Las Chanchas is an exciting, London-based Latin band that delivers a contemporary interpretation of chicha the hypnotic tropical cumbia originating from the Amazon Rainforest. Formed in early 2025, this experimental group seamlessly blends traditional Latin rhythms with 1960s surf and psychedelic rock. They intentionally challenge conventional genre lineups by utilizing a stripped-back, small-scale format. This minimalist configuration preserves a remarkably rich, full, and raw texture while maximizing dancefloor energy. Known for their vibrant, high-octane live performances, they regularly ignite clubs and music venues across London, introducing a historic golden-age sound to entirely new ears
