Locos Por Juana

$10 Cover


Locos Por Juana’s sound is a distinct one, a hybrid drawing not only from the band
members' diverse backgrounds but also from other countries' musical styles as well.
Correa and Delgado were born in Colombia, and Kondrat is a Miami native of Colombian
descent. As such, they incorporate the beloved sounds of their heritage and upbringing
like Cumbia, Champeta and Afro-Colombian rhythms such as Mapale and Chande,
reshaping and breathing new life into them in order to give them a new identity
altogether. Also integral to Locos Por Juana's style are musical influences from Miami
and the Caribbean islands including Reggae, Raggamuffin, and Dub from Jamaica along
with Hip-Hop, Rock, and Funk leading to fusion that Kondrat coined "that island swing".
In essence, the heart and soul of the band’s style emanates from Colombia, a country
whose musical styles are ever-present in band’s music.
