Mexico City’s Son Rompe Pera, widely considered to be part of the impetus behind the cumbia-punk movement, have spread that gospel across 20 countries since 2019 (including a set at our SXSW Scholz Garten show in 2023 and a stop by Studio 1A last year). The group is currently on tour (their show last weekend at Brushy Street Commons was chingón as all get out) teasing songs from their upcoming album out later this summer, produced here in Austin at Adrian Quesada’s Electric Deluxe Studios. The new single “Reptilo” takes us back to a classic era of nostalgic futurism and paranoia: the 1950’s and the reptilian conspiracy theory. Were those old B-movies just jokes? Son Rompe Pera explores.
