La Descarga was born in 2010 in Melbourne, as a tribute to the folkloric rhythms of the coasts of Colombia and as a preserver of its cultural heritage, it has evolved for over a decade through diverse musical and cultural collaborations, into a forerunner of Latin-Aussie-tropical music. While blending the traditions with electric and electronic sounds, it brings original tunes as well as old time retakes of the golden tropical days of Colombian music.

La Descarga has been influenced deeply by the street carnival cultures of Latin America with their upbeat music, colours and dance, mixing the old and the new grooves and moves of Australian, Colombian and world Tropical culture. Originally performing traditional drums, marimba, gaita flutes, with cantadores y cantadoras (traditional singers) and folkloric dancers, its traditional sound has merged, throughout collaborations with Australian musicians, with psychedelia, electronica and dub, expanding in 2018 to it’s the Electropical Orchestra format.

La Descarga has performed at many of Australia’s most beloved festivals, including the Firelight Festival, MOOMBA, Brunswick Music Festival, White Night Melbourne, Taste of Summer, and the Darebin Music Feast. In addition to these festival appearances, La Descarga has played sold-out shows at renowned venues across Australia such as the MONA Museum (Hobart), National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, Brunswick Ballroom (Melbourne), Northcote Social Club (Melbourne), The Night Cat (Melbourne), Miami Marketta (Gold Coast), Queen Street Mall (Brisbane), Northcote Social Club, The Polo Live (Canberra) and the Melbourne Convention Centre. La Descarga has captivated audiences with a series of vibrant singles, including "Elimínala", "Allá en el Río", "Chande Gozoso", and "A Demoler".

They recently launched their highly anticipated debut album, "Fiesta de Corazón".
