Radio La Chusma

Representing the beauty and complexity of the border culture, the reggae/ cumbia/ rock band known as Radio La Chusma, is sparking up the music scene. They make uplifting the people with their message and hard hitting rhythms, look easy. With four part harmonies and battling solos, this new "Pachuco sound" takes the reggae vibration to a whole new level. Bringing their unique perspective to the rest of the world, Radio La CHusma breaks down the borders of language and religion by bringing people together.

Deeply rooted in Mezo-American and African traditions, the music brings a ceremonial feeling to the audience.

Their infectious sound has been turning heads since 2002, with their first release "Sonido de la Gente". In 2007, along with Grammy Award recipient Justin Leeah, the band released their second full length album," 91.5 MexM", giving them a respected reputation throughout the Southwest region. Hitting the road and being one of El Paso's top bands, Radio La Chusma is nearing one hundred shows a year. In the summer of 2008, a record breaking crowd of more than 13,000 people moved and grooved to the "Chusma" sound at the Chamizal International Memorial Park. Most recently, the band surprised music lovers at international music festivals, SXSW '09 and the 16th Annual Austin Reggae Fest. Their sound continues to be the voice of the growing Latino population, with "Adelante", being chosen as the first Spanish song to represent an American city, ever!

With their 2008 LIVE @ TWO TON and the 2007 release "91.5 MexM", their unique sound and live vibration has been captured. Radio La Chusma! has a strong following in San Diego, Santa Fe, San Antonio, and Austin TX. and has played with The Doobie Brothers, WAR, The Itals, The Wailing Souls, Jaguares, El Gran Silencio, Maldita Vecindad, Little Joe y La Familia, Pato Banton, and Slightly Stoopid, to name a few.
