Chico Trujillo is
one of Chile's most important
orchestras. They are the
soundtrack to every party from
Arica to Punta Arenas. Their
mixture of classic cumbia,
bolero, reggae, latin american
and balcanic music has assured
them an audience from every
generation and walk of life.
The band started as a side
project from the ska/punk band
LaFloripondio in 1999 in
Valparaíso. Twelve years and
five albums later they have come
to symbolize a unique cocktail
rooted in the cumbia of the
pre-Pinochet days and they have
managed to include every aspect
of the Chilean popular culture.

Chico Trujillo has meshed bits
and pieces from the past with
the global influence of the
alternative culture and have
fusioned everything under the
pan-latin flag of the cumbia.
The exuberance of the band
represents a comeback to the
ballroom and the pleasures of
the night.
Besides touring extensively in
Chile and South America the band
has been seen/heard in:
-Roskilde Festival. Denmark
-Nuits du Sud de Vence Fest.

-Esperanzah Festival. Belgium
-European Tour 2010 (50 shows)
-USA tour, March 2011
