Los De Abajo are a stirring blend of traditional Latin sounds and global music influences, hailing from the bustling cultural tapestry of Mexico City. Since their formation in the early 1990s, the band has become renowned for their eclectic fusion of ska, rock, and world music with a strong Latin flavor, often with a socially conscious message woven into their lyrics. Their name, translating to "Those from Below," signifies their alignment with the underprivileged and their dedication to telling the stories of the less heard through their vibrant music.

Over the years, Los De Abajo have continued to evolve, ever expanding their musical repertoire with elements of jazz, reggae, salsa, and cumbia. The band has a long history of fiercely independent production and distribution of their work, in line with their punk-inspired ethos of autonomy and dissent. Their recent offerings such as "Enterrados" and "Enloquecí" illustrate a band unafraid to explore both the celebratory and more reflective aspects of existence. Their series of releases under the "Ofrendas" banner, "Volver a los 17: Ofrendas Vol. 2," and "Tierra Húmeda: Ofrendas Vol. 1," highlight their capacity to intertwine personal homage with broader cultural expression, exemplifying their role as storytellers through the rich medium of music. With their enlivening stage performances and persistently innovative discography, Los De Abajo continue to captivate audiences around the globe, constantly redefining the boundaries of Latin music.
