Los Toscos

**Los Toscos** are a gritty, genre-blurring cumbia outfit hailing from Colombia’s Caribbean coast, known for injecting raw energy and a punk-rock edge into traditional rhythms. Part of the underground *cumbia villera* scene, their music marries accordion-driven grooves with rebellious lyrics that often tackle street life, social struggles, and dark humor. Tracks like **“Rostro de Cemento”** and **“La Negra Tulia / Teofilo El Gaitero”** showcase their knack for pairing frenetic beats with storytelling that feels both local and universal. With a DIY ethos and a reputation for rowdy live shows, Los Toscos have carved out a loyal following among fans of alternative Latin sounds, proving that cumbia can be as rough and real as the streets that inspire it.
