LOS CHAVOS (Latin / Ska / Reggae)
With over 15 years of captivating performances in the city, Los Chavos stand as pioneers of original urban Latin music in Australia. Their journey began with the release of their debut EP in 2008, a testament to their vibrant live sound and unique artistic vision.

Their debut album, "SuperMeng," released in 2012, marked a significant evolution, showcasing the band's signature energy alongside intricate arrangements and an array of Afro-Latin rhythms, from cumbia to dub/reggae, merengue, timba, and chakarera, all while maintaining their ska/reggae roots.
