Como Las Movies is an avant-garde ensemble blending the rich and diverse tapestry of Latinx culture with modern sensibilities to create a vibrant, genre-bending sound that reflects the complexities of their heritage. Based out of Austin, Texas, the band weaves together the nostalgic essence of golden era Latin film soundtracks—whence their name, “Like the Movies,” is derived—with the contemporary pulses of electronic and indie music. Known for their experimental forays into traditional styles, such as cumbia and what they have dubbed “nuevo wave,” Como Las Movies infuses their music with a sense of cinematic storytelling.

Their recent releases showcase a bold approach to creating music that is both reflective and forward-thinking. Tracks like "La 6" and "Café" demonstrate an evocative combination of rhythmic grooves and melodic invention, while "La Tiendita" and "La Bruja" dive deeper into cultural narratives and mystical elements. The band's single "¿Ypqsp?" offers a playful yet contemplative look at contemporary life's intricacies, and "Una Vuelta Más" emphasizes their talent for crafting infectious rhythms that stay with the listener. With each new release, Como Las Movies continues to build their reputation as a boundary-pushing force within the Latin music scene. Their ability to juxtapose traditional Latin sounds with new wave aesthetics makes them a unique and exciting presence on the musical landscape.
