Tropa Magica with Los Lemons

August 12, 2023 @ 9:45 pm

“Invigorating”, “brilliant”, and “charismatic” are just a slew of the adjectives used to

describe Tropa Magica. “The East L.A. duo made a name for themselves by combining

alternative, grunge, and psychedelic rock with cumbia” -Spin magazine.

 

Having toured nationally and on multiple southwest and west coast tours, they have supported

established acts such as Bomba Estereo, Molotov, and comedian Felipe Esparza. The band has

boldly and successfully taken on larger LA stages at venues such as The Microsoft Theater, El

Rey Theater and The Hollywood Palladium.

 

In 2018 and 2019 Tropa Magica performed at So-Cal festival favorites Desert Daze and

Tropicalia. At the end of 2019 the band self released a limited edition 7inch vinyl EP “Smells

Like Cumbia” featuring Nirvana songs as cumbia renditions.

 

Despite the pandemic, 2020 has been a fruitful year for the band. They wrote and recorded the

theme song for comedian Felipe Esparza’s new Netflix special and collaborated with the

notorious Foo’s Gone Wild on the “Foo Files Cumbia” track released earlier this year. The band

has partnered up as ambassadors with 805/Firestone Beer and is sponsored by Fender guitars

and Ernie Ball.

 

Their sophomore LP “Tripiando Al Infinito En Mi Recamara” has garnished appraisal by music

critics:

 

“…the psychedelic cumbia-punk that David and Rene Pacheco have pieced together over a

decade as Tropa Magica has coalesced into something sublime on their sophomore album”

-Grimy Goods

 

“they’ve spread their wings sonically while losing none of the charisma that made them a hot

item at festivals…Tropa Magica’s new album, while born in East L.A., will truly be a child of the

world.”

-Buzzbands LA

 

(To learn a bit more) Tropa Magica has a short documentary that introduces the band nationally

on the well known media and news company “BESE”.
