Brooklyn-Via-Peru Combo Tipa Tipo Brings the Yacht Rock With Cowbells

Soundcheck | Jun 10, 2024

The band called Tipa Tipo comes from Brooklyn via Peru. The trio plays an unexpectedly danceable mix of tropical Latin funk, cumbia, disco, and yacht rock. With their synthesizers, guitar, and tight vocal harmonies, they offer a kind of retro 70s sound, but with a modern, feminist sensibility and lyrics sung mostly in Spanish. Tipa Tipo play songs from their latest record, Cintas, in-studio, with all of the cowbells.

Set list: 1 Poco Tiempo 2 Grifo 3 Ataque de Medianoche
