Son Rompe Pera is an electrifying Mexican band born from the lifelong passion and dedication of the Gama family. Brothers Ángel, Ernesto, and Raúl, hailing from Naucalpan, a suburb outside Mexico City, form the core of this vibrant ensemble that has been breathing new life into the traditional Latin American genre of cumbia. The Gama brothers grew up learning and playing the folkloric rhythms of their heritage, mastering various instruments. Most notably, they rejuvenate the marimba, an instrument often associated with traditional folk music, by integrating it into more contemporary and internationally appealing sounds.

Their music is a testament to their innovative spirit, where they seamlessly blend their marimba mastery with the raw energy of punk and the irresistible groove of cumbia. They are known for their powerful live performances, which are often characterized by a raucous, party-like atmosphere that invites audience participation and dance. With releases like "Selva Negra" and "Cumbia Buena," they pay homage to their roots while also pushing the boundaries of the genre, often featuring collaborations with artists from diverse musical backgrounds. Son Rompe Pera's unique sound is not only a fresh take on Mexican music but also a celebration of the rich cultural tapestry that Latin America has to offer. Their growing catalogue, including tracks like "El Saleroso" and "La Piragua," continues to solidify their status as one of the most exciting acts in the world music scene today.
