One of Los Angeles’ hottest rising all-star cumbia bands, VIENTO CALLEJERO sets the stage to continue the momentum they have built up through their smoldering live performances around the city, earning their reputation as one of the newest and freshest takes on the L.A. cumbia sound!
After their triumphant debut at Mucho Wednesdays on January 22nd, 2014; Viento Calljero was asked to return for a residency by Mucho Music for the month of May at Los Angeles’ legendary Latin Indie Pop dance party, Mucho Wednesdays!!
“We believe strongly in the Viento’s talent and in their potential to make a substantive contribution to the local Latin Indie scene, and global cumbia music. Similarly to the few other bands we have had in residency, we felt that Viento needed a larger space to grow their audience and cement their reputation as a fantastic live act.” Said Ricky Garay of Mucho Music.
These Two nights in the month of May (Wednesday the 14th and Wednesday the 28th )will also serve as major fund and awareness raising opportunities for their upcoming debut record!
Viento Callejero is currently busy at work on their debut album, featuring a who is who ofLatin Indie musical talent! In order to be able to independently record and release this record, they are launching a Kickstarter campaign. Please visit their campaign profile if you would like to contribute.
Joining them on this upcoming album is Eddika Organista (El Haru Kuroi) with added vocals by Leah Gallegos (Las Cafeteras), Grammy award winner - Martha Gonzalez(Quetzal) and Edgar Modesto (Buyepongo).
Eddika, Leah, and Martha join them on thier first single planned for release very soon, which is a version of the cumbia classic, “La Burrita”
For these two very special performances at La Cita Bar (336 S Hill Street, L.A., CA 90013) , the band is inviting a different set of musical guests to join them each night just as eclectic as the many guest performers on their album! Both nights guests are a total surprise, so only the band knows what to expect!

VIENTO CALLEJERO (Street Breeze) is a Los Angeles based Urban style Cumbia triothat formed in 2013. The group is composed of Gloria Estrada on guitar, Federico Zuniga on bass, and Gabriel Villa on drums. The group has taken a unique approach to their musical endeavor by inviting and featuring a different guest vocalist for every performance. Creating a one-of-a-kind musical experience every time.
Together they bring a fresh approach to urban tropical music stripping it down to feature its rawest elements. With Cumbia making a resurgence, artists have been re-mixing and re-interpreting the Classic Cumbias in dance halls all over the world. VIENTO CALLEJERO represents the newest incarnation of the cumbia movement in Los Angeles,breaking down the rhythmic and melodic pulse of Cumbia Colombiana, Son Montuno, Merengue, Reggae, Dance Hall, Funk, and Rock to create a fresh sound with a new twist that is infectious to the listeners ears, hips, and feet.
