XIXA is an American band hailing from the sun-drenched desert of Tucson, Arizona, led by core members Brian Lopez and Gabriel Sullivan. Known for their spellbinding blend of psych-rock and cumbia, sometimes referred to as "chicha dust," the group has carved a distinctive niche in the indie music scene. Their sound is an intoxicating concoction that merges the traditional with the contemporary, infusing Latin rhythms with a modern rock edge.

The band's breadth of influences is showcased in their discography, with tracks like "Genesis" and "Eclipse" highlighting their capability to weave narrative and emotion into their music, while others like "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)" offer fresh takes on classic tunes. As their body of work expands with both electric and acoustic versions of their songs, such as "Road Beyond the Valley (Acoustic Version)" and "Feast of Ascension (Acoustic Version)," XIXA demonstrates a versatility and a mastery of mood-setting that resonates with audiences seeking both depth and danceability. This alchemy of sound cements XIXA's status as both torchbearers of the Southwestern sonic aesthetic and adventurous innovators in the global music arena.
