Sonido Gallo Negro is a vibrant musical collective hailing from Mexico City, an ensemble that has passionately explored and revamped the scope of Latin American cumbia since their inception in 2011. The nine-member band stands out for their psychedelically tinged compositions and innovative approach to traditional rhythms, pushing boundaries with a modern flair while paying homage to the rich musical heritage of their region. Their sound is a harmonious blend of vintage Peruvian cumbia, incorporating elements of surf music, chicha, and Mexican folklore, which they enhance with contemporary psychedelia and the use of analog synthesizers, creating a unique and enchanting soundscape.

Known for their lively and colorful performances, Sonido Gallo Negro has developed a robust discography that showcases their ability to cross cultural barriers and connect with audiences worldwide. Among their most recent releases, "Paganismo" and its deluxe edition demonstrate their commitment to expanding the cumbia genre, adding layers of complexity and captivating listeners with tracks like "Silbadora" and "Fantasmagoría." Their rendition of "Planet Claire" displays the group's flair for reinvention, while singles like "Tarántula" and "El Oro / Ángela" bear their hallmark psychedelic cumbia rhythms, enriched with an otherworldly charm that invites fans to experience the mystical and carnival-esque energy that Sonido Gallo Negro brings to the global music scene.
