INTERRUPCIÓN: Julián Mayorga + TECA + Dooombieros (DJ-Set) + Dr. Dooombia
For the second edition of INTERRUPCIÓN this year, we have invited the four-armed post-cumbia master Julián Mayorga. Having just released one of his most psychedelic records, the South American witchdoctor is now bringing his otherworldly rituals to WORM. He will be joined by The Ensemble of Cultural Approximation (TECA), who will make their debut in our venue. A new Amsterrotterdam group who dedicate their minds to the sound of shroombia! Inbetween the two live acts, the Dooombieros will spin their favourite cumbia records, while warrior-poet Doctor Dooombia will be your host. This is going to be a night filled with surprises!
Julián Mayorga
Avant-garde Colombian singer-songwriter Julián Mayorga comes to Rotterdam! Hot on the heels of his ninth album, Chak Chak Chak Chak, which is a clattering and absurdist slice of post-cumbia psychedelia. A feverish mix of angular electric guitars, circuit-bent beats, found percussion and rapid-fire incantations, with influences that include Tom Zé, Tom Waits and Captain Beefheart. Frenetic energy meets satirical wit. Surrealist fables entwined with defiant sonics. On top of that, Spanish artist Marta Orozco, who also doubles as Julian’s partner at Poetas Menores, will provide live visuals to this AV show.
The Ensemble of Cultural Approximation (TECA)
TECA is new on the block, taking their inspiration from cumbia music. If life’s been dull lately, just take an intercity direct between Rotterdam and Amsterdam, where in the fun wagon you can put a 3 euro coin in a whimsical jukebox. It will transport you in a blink of an eye to a state of temperature rising well above 25 degrees celsius, ouzo oozing through your veins and your feet approximately grooving, while your friend is synchronizing their hips to yours. HOT! TECA isn’t just a band. It’s a vibe. It’s a minibar!
Dooombieros (DJ-Set)
You might remember the Dooombiamberos from their dive into darkness during 2024’s Dooombia Fest. As DJ’s, they present a much brighter side of life with their selection of cumbia, salsa and terapia records. The trio consists of Mitze Apocalipze, Mijo and Chucho Vinilo, from whom the latter is celebrating his birthday on the 15th of May! Come and dance with them around the infernal fire…
Hosted by Dr. Dooombia
The chaotic evil Dr. Dooombia made his memorable debut as a host during 2024’s Dooombia Fest. In this edition of INTERRUPCIÓN he returns with more mental poetry from la tierra caliente. He will guide you through this night of experimental cumbia.
