Cachitas Now!

La Plata

Argentina

Season 6: 2022-2023

June 2023

With swooping hooks and party grooves the cumbia-grounded sound of this band lights up the clubs.

Building belonging in La Plata, the university town outside Buenos Aires, and home to Argentina’s hot indie scene, the exuberant Cachitas Now! first came together in 2011.

The seven members hail from all over Argentina, with different personal experiences, backgrounds, and musical tastes that bring an authenticity to their unique party of sound that stretches from traditional Argentine cumbia, tango, and folk idioms to urban rhythms like trap and reggaeton.

Busting out of concerts and clubs, Cachitas Now! is gathering a growing community of artists to animate public spaces with parties, festivals, carnivals and fairs.

Cachitas Now! has released two studio albums: Cumbia Desgenerada (2016) and Chonga (2019) which was recognized with a nomination for “Best Tropical Album” at the Gardel 2020 Awards.
