- Bio
«Hasta la fi esta siempre porque somos locos y libres» !
LA CHANGO FAMILY, a raucous, fun-loving bunch with a refreshing spirit that gathers festive crowds everywhere they go; that is the essence of this band from Montreal which has already played well over 400 shows in just 5 years.
Lundo and Maruchka founded the group after a trip to Mexico. Did a falling coconut hit them too hard on the head? Was it a shamanic vision? No, just a clear desire to share their passion for an inclusive music that is proudly and profoundly influenced by various rhythms, languages and cultures.
LA CHANGO FAMILY is 11 musicians from diverse cultural and musical backgrounds that create an constantly evolving gypsie-reggae sound born of their travels: from Mexico to Cuba, and on to Brazil, with a bypass to Nigeria and Senegal, and a stop in Maghreb.
Gathered around the charismatic Lundo, the group invites their ever-growing vibrant fans on a journey to borderless countries .lled with flavours gathered from around the world.
These travelling troubadours, at times festive and others biting social critics, juggle with both the bright lights of the stage and their own humanistic concerns. They are eclectic heirs at the junction of European, African and American culture. In five years, the band has given more than 400 shows throughout Europe and Canada.
La Chango Family quit the Audiogram label to produce their new independent album on their very own fair trade label, ZionZone Recordz. Thus, La CHANGO FAMILY is on a mission: to travel the four corners of the planet and spread their words of celebration, peace and equality, wherever they play... Watch out!!!
The Fiesta is just beginning...
