Fusion of Styles: Makenu's Musical Mosaic

Makenu's sound is a rich tapestry of cumbia tradition interwoven with eclectic influences ranging from ska to hip hop, and psychedelic to rock, all while anchoring its roots in Latin American rhythms and tropical flair. This ensemble's unique interpretation of cumbia has established them as more than just a band—they’re a dynamic force that infuses listeners' souls with euphoria.

The band's inception in California brought together a culturally rich lineup of musicians from Chile, Argentina, Peru, and the United States. The diverse group includes Jaime lending his voice, Hernan on the keyboards, Marco with the guitar, Liza on bass, Joha playing the drum set, Erick on timbales, Richy with the guiro, and Amaru on congas.

Through their live performances, Makenu doesn't just play music; they curate a comprehensive sensorial expedition. When Makenu hits the stage, every strum, beat, and melody ushers a communal vibe that encourages audience participation and shared celebration.
