Chico Trujillo is a vibrant fixture in the Latin music world, widely celebrated for their intoxicating blend of cumbia, rock, reggae, and punk. Forming in the late 1990s in Valparaíso, Chile, the band originated as a side project of punk band LaFloripondio's frontman Aldo "Macha" Asenjo. Chico Trujillo quickly established a reputation for their high-energy performances and their ability to get audiences on their feet with their infectious rhythms.

Their music goes beyond mere revivalism, as they infuse traditional cumbia sounds with a contemporary and eclectic twist, embodying the band's motto, "Cumbia chilombiana" – a nod to the mixture of Chilean and Colombian styles. As Chico Trujillo progressed, they became ambassadors of the New Chilean Cumbia movement, gaining international recognition and touring extensively across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. Albums like "Gran Pecador" and "Chico de Oro" showcase the group's dexterity in bridging the musical past with the present, while tracks like "Arriba las Nalgas" and "Cumbiando Toda la Noche" display their playful and irreverent approach to songwriting. Their music is a celebration, a rebellious party where tradition and modernity collide to create a soundtrack for both the nostalgic and the avant-garde.
