“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.
