Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra are a Canadian world music group, whose music blends Latin American cumbia, Balkan music and gypsy jazz influences.[1] They are most noted as two-time Juno Award nominees for World Music Album of the Year, receiving nods at the Juno Awards of 2016 for their album Revuelta Danza Party[2] and at the Juno Awards of 2021 for VelkomBak.[3]

Based in Montreal, Quebec, the band is led by Sebastian Mejia, a Colombian immigrant to Canada.[4] A tour by the band of Colombia is portrayed in the 2019 documentary film Fait vivir.[5]
