Imperio Bamba is a project born in North London, in 2016. They describe their sound as chichafrodelic, mixing chicha, afro-peruvian and psychedelic rhythms that emerge from their Latin American roots. Telling their stories through songs, immigrants’ stories, they try to create moments to feel in community, creating a home far away from home.

Their performance is an electrifying experience, filled with energy and passion that will make the audience connect with each other in a musical journey.
