“Their unique approach to blending culture using retro Peruvian cumbia guitar tones is a surprisingly modern twist in the world of pop.” - PASTE MAGAZINE

TIPA TIPO fuses the spirit of '70s soft rock and disco with latin rhythms to create their fresh take on tropical yacht rock en español. Originally formed in Lima (Perú), the band plays live as a trio fronted by co-producers Adele Fournet and Felipe Wurst with Jordan Auber on drums. The band packs the sonic force of a much bigger ensemble by combining contrapuntal synth bass lines, tight vocal harmonies, intoxicating guitar and electric piano textures.

In 2024, Tipa Tipo released their first full-length album, Cintas, featuring Fournet and Wurst’s distinctive production style synthesizing retro pop with Peruvian cumbia. This release comes in the wake of many recent successes for the band, including their Lincoln Center debut and the release of their first two EPs - El Chari (2021) and 2 Al Azar (2022) - which gained attention throughout Latin America and US Latinx independent music circles. Their single “Voy Por Ella'' was recently featured on the Mexican TV series “Soy Tu Fan.”

You can catch their tunes on radio stations including KEXP, KCSN, WFUV, and WXPN (NPR’s World Café) and write-ups on Paste, Bandcamp, Rock Achorao (Perú), WNYC’s New Sounds, and more. The Bandcamp Daily calls Cintas “an overall wonderful debut” with “clean guitars, sweet vocals, and lyrics that touch on political and feminist issues.” Their next LP is forthcoming in 2026.

MIRAMAR reimagines the Latin bolero and carries the torch of bolero beat—a genre that rose to international fame in the 1960s by blending nostalgic ballads with psychedelic rock, bossa nova, funk, jazz, and more. An offshoot of the acclaimed indie-salsa band Bio Ritmo, Miramar was one of the first Latin bands to perform on NPR’s Tiny Desk and has since introduced its unique take on bolero to audiences worldwide, releasing music on two of Brooklyn’s most iconic independent labels: Barbès and Daptone Records. Their latest album, Entre Tus Flores, released on the historic tropical label Ansonia Records, was hailed by Staf Magazine (Spain) as “one of the greatest discoveries of recent years,” and praised by Lira Magazine (Sweden) as “crazy, updated, odd – and irresistible.”

Miramar’s undeniable magic lies in the chemistry between vocalist-songwriter Rei Álvarez and the “gran voz de la diva,” Laura Ann Singh. Their “heartbreaking vocals suck in every nerve” (Lira), and they “harmonize with such precision and grace that it’s hard to imagine a day when they didn’t sing together” (Style Weekly). The Álvarez–Singh duo is supported by a lush, dreamlike soundscape arranged by bandleader Marlysse Simmons-Argandoña, who alternates between piano and combo organs.
