Early Show! Cumbia-Klezmer-Punk w/Las Mariposas Galácticas

Las Mariposas Galácticas is an eight-piece cumbia/klezmer/punk band and cultural project based in Philadelphia. Combining band members’ South American and Jewish ancestries, the band creates a unique diasporic sound that gets audiences everywhere dancing with rebellious joy.

By honoring their Indigenous Andean musical ancestries, blended together with punkified ancient Jewish melodies, the band plays a mixture of original and classic tunes that span different languages, cultures, and genres.

Las Mariposas have toured the East Coast and collaborated with international acts, such as renowned Mexican rock band Los Cogelones, and Argentinian tropi-punk group Kumbia Queers. They have also headlined the L.A.T.I.N. PunkFest in Philadelphia and New York City, and continue to accompany their communities’ struggle for liberation everywhere from prominent stages to cultural, activist, and community spaces.
