Lamberts

Gio Chamba is the Electro Cumbia project of Gio Alejandro. His infectious musical blend and raucous performances give him an edge that is hard to find in many acts. Fresh and exciting, yet there’s a celebratory sense of familiarity and warmness in his performances. In the 10 years of making music, he has shared the stage with acts such as: AB Quintanilla & Los Kumbia Allstarz, Ozomatli, Natalia LaFourcade, Caravan Palace, Las Cafeteras, Chicano Batman, Sonido Gallo Negro, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Baby Bash, and Los Lonely Boys to name a few. He has also performed in several festivals and notable stages such as: Free Press Summer Fest & SuperBowl Live in Houston Texas, Fortress Festival in Fort Worth Texas, Villapalooza and Mole de Mayo in Chicago, CMJ Showcase in New York City, MXLAN in McAllen Texas, & The Aztec Theatre in San Antonio Texas.

Gio Chamba’s sound emanates from the cultural melting-pot that is Houston. His music is dotted with vicious raps, tropical vocal melodies, and psychedelic guitar solos, but the driving force of his performances comes from the bass heavy, danceable, electronic beats rooted in the wide-spread genre, Cumbia.
