Based out of the Bay Area, Combo Tezeta plays a blend of instrumental cumbias, chichas and musica tropical inspired by the late 60's and early 70's era of psychedelic Peru. Layering the reverb fueled sounds of surf onto the foundations of cumbia, the band's focus is to highlight the rich melodies and hypnotic rhythms birthed from the Afro-Latin diaspora. Along with their appreciation of world music and it's diverse cultures, Combo Tezeta's goal is to deliver the sounds and musical echos of the past to the present.
NPR's 2024 Tiny Desk Contest selected this video below as a finalist, and invited us to play the Norcal Tiny Desk showcase concert.

Combo Tezeta presents their debut 7" vinyl record, "La Danza Del Camaleón" out now on Discos Más. The title track, an instrumental cumbia-salsera that takes you on a tropical trip with a touch of psychedelia and the flip side, a dark mid-tempo bolero called, "La Reina Nocturna".
