Los Chinchillos del Caribe, Puerto Rico's only cumbia band, has released a new single titled 'Simpático', marking the beginning of a new artistic era and serving as a preview of their upcoming album. The song combines the essence of cumbia rebajada from Monterrey, Mexico, with urban influences and the characteristic flavor of Puerto Rico.
Produced by El Dusty, a two-time Latin Grammy nominee, 'Simpático' is a fresh proposal that strengthens the concept of 'cumbia boricua' developed by the band. The song's music video was filmed in Santurce and showcases the urban and Caribbean identity of the new production.
Los Chinchillos del Caribe have been working to open up space for cumbia in the Puerto Rican music scene, and their efforts have led to a growing response from the public and increased performances in important Latin American stadiums. The band has shared the stage with Jowell y Randy and will embark on an international tour later this year to showcase their 'cumbia boricua' proposal. 'Simpático' is available on major music digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.
