They intentionally challenge conventional genre lineups by utilizing a stripped-back, small-scale format.

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<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2140,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"act-type":[196,338,371,125,277,324],"act-days":[],"venue-tax":[187],"class_list":["post-2139","acts","type-acts","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","act-type-dance-a028b1b5-608c-457f-8e6d-a9b26c1f0902","act-type-global-sounds-a1102a09-2c58-4310-8850-2d58ce247d79","act-type-latin-a02c677b-01b9-4548-8227-13bd4ee14181","act-type-music-a022c6f0-1471-41f1-b076-6a40500ec050","act-type-performance-a028b31e-3698-4e67-b82f-1267294c8727","act-type-psych-a02c66fa-c609-4ef4-ba36-0eefe61bd2a8","venue-tax-roots-corner-a02c6cae-8b69-4769-ba69-8281d76ee8ff"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Las Chanchas - Shambala 2026<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shambalafestival.org\/2026\/act\/las-chanchas\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Las Chanchas - Shambala 2026\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"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.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.shambalafestival.org\/2026\/act\/las-chanchas\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Shambala 2026\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ShambalaFestival\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-05-28T10:25:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.shambalafestival.org\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/05\/3624e473-d4ff-405c-8806-5717bc97f43f_web.avif\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"225\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"225\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@shambalafest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/act\\\/las-chanchas\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/act\\\/las-chanchas\\\/\",\"name\":\"Las Chanchas - Shambala 2026\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/act\\\/las-chanchas\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/act\\\/las-chanchas\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/11\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/3624e473-d4ff-405c-8806-5717bc97f43f_web.avif\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-05-28T08:31:07+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-05-28T10:25:35+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/act\\\/las-chanchas\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/act\\\/las-chanchas\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/act\\\/las-chanchas\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/11\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/3624e473-d4ff-405c-8806-5717bc97f43f_web.avif\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shambalafestival.org\\\/2026\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/11\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/3624e473-d4ff-405c-8806-5717bc97f43f_web.avif\",\"width\":225,\"height\":225,\"caption\":\"Three people walk side by side down a covered, arched walkway with metal bars and glass panes.
