Chuck Prophet and His Cumbia Shoes (SXSW)
Get ready to shake your hips at Chuck Prophet and His Cumbia Shoes! This legendary California rocker, fresh off battling lymphoma, teamed up with the infectious Cumbia crew from ¿Qiensave? for their killer album Wake The Dead—blending rock 'n' roll, punk, surf, and soul into rhythm-heavy jams that demand dancing.
Chuck's got over a dozen solo albums under his belt since ditching neo-psych pioneers Green on Red in 1990. His tunes have rocked films, TV, and covers by big names like Bruce Springsteen. Critics call him a 'renaissance-rocker' who turns wild tales into catchy hooks. Backed by Mission Express vets James DePrato and Vicente Rodriguez, plus Cumbia masters Alejandro Gomez and Mario Cortez, they're touring as the Cumbia Shoes, delivering bilingual blasts, foot-stomping covers like 'Wooly Bully,' and life-affirming anthems.
- Expect intoxicating rhythms from Colombia's folkloric roots that'll have you moving.
- Live sets mix new Cumbia fire with classics reimagined.
- Perfect for fans of genre-bending Americana with a Latin twist!
