Trypical Cumbia - Cumbión de Muertos

Trypical Cumbia - Cumbión de Muertos: Saturday 31 October 2026, 20:00–23:45, Union, Copenhagen. Tickets cost 130–200 kr.

Trypical Cumbia plays cumbia with respect for tradition while bringing fresh energy to the genre. The repertoire spans Latin America - carefully selected songs and instrumental pieces from Colombia, Chile, Nicaragua, Peru, and Brazil, mixed with the band's own compositions.

Cumbia originated in Colombia but has long crossed borders and evolved in many directions. It can be sensual and raw at once, melodic and hypnotic, playful and full of contradictions - but above all, it is music that moves the body. With Trypical Cumbia, Union becomes a dance floor where South American folk traditions meet a European city, and the rhythms take centre stage. The band plays tight and energetic live music.

Doors open at 19:00, music from 20:00. It is a standing concert, and afterwards the evening continues as a cumbia lounge with DJ Mescal. Skeleton costumes, lucha masks, or face paint are welcome.

Death is part of life, even though we spend much energy resisting, fearing, and denying it. The festival is an invitation to embrace it a little more and ask why it stirs such strong feelings.
