History

The project was born in Buenos Aires in 2007, the union of She Devils, Juana Chang and Florencia Lliteras (Happy Makers), (Argentina), with Ali Gua Gua of Las Ultrasónicas (México). At first, they played covers of The Cure, Madonna, Ramones, Black Sabbath, twisting them to the rhythm of cumbia with lyrics full of queer poetry and humor. With their third album, 2012 appeared, the group turned to their own songs and lyrics mainly.

In summer 2012, the band went on their third tour in Europe. Within 27 days they played for Stockholm to Madrid at 23 locations in total 25 concerts. 2014 was the band in Latin America and - at the invitation of the jury of the SXSW Festival - traveling in the United States. In summer 2015, the Kumbia Queers come back to Europe and put in a new formation without Ali Gua Gua, their current disk before.

Each year, complete the Kumbia Queers over one hundred appearances. Especially in Chile, Mexico, Canada, Spain. Japan and Argentina grow the number of its fans.
