Dubbed the Queen of Nu Cumbia, LA YEGROS incorporates South American Folk traditions with cutting edge beats, hip hop flow and rock attitude.
LA YEGROS’ signature sound takes the folkloric Latin music and splices it with the more contemporary sounds of electro and hip-hop.
Her vibrant sound, unique voice, and larger-than-life performance presence already conquered a wide audience. Dubbed the Queen of Nu Cumbia, La Yegros with her Latin folkloric electronic music is known for her astonishing stage presence, contagious joy and charisma.
Following her debut album « Viene de Mi » (Parlophone) and Magnetismo (Soundway records), La Yegros will release her forthcoming album produced by the legendary King Coya with luxury guests Jori Collignon from Skip&Die (The Netherlands) and Eduardo Cabra from Multi Latin Grammy Awards Calle 13 (Puerto Rico) in Spring 2019.
