The musicians of Lo Poloko have deep roots in Mexican, Chilean, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese cultures, coming together in Rotterdam. Latin music forms the foundation of their sound, but it’s a constant exploration for new sounds thereafter. Rock, ska, cumbia, reggae, Balkan, dub: everything blends into a delightful mix in the Lo Poloko machine.
Lo Poloko’s debut album, Living la Covida Loca (2023), draws inspiration from the band members’ experiences during the alienating COVID-19 period. It’s a stunning sonic journey across the globe. They describe their sound as the Big Tropical Bang, and it’s quite a fitting label.
