LESS TOCHES

LESS TOCHES

Winners of the 2024 Syli d’or de la musique du monde (17th edition!), Less Toches “goes straight to the chase, delivering a rootsy style of cumbia as infectious as it comes” (PanM 360, 2024). The five friends from diverse Latin American backgrounds that form this Montreal-based group explore cumbia in all its forms: sabanera, regjada, villera, Mexican… each piece is played with gusto by the experienced percussionists, meticulous accordionist, exuberant bassist and a singer with a full-on stage presence.
