QUIMIKOZ DEL SON, a Cumbia band based out of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. Cumbia is a blend of musical cultures, originating in South America.
Colombia, to be exact. Quimikoz = chemists. Del = of the. Son = the soul, the heartbeat of the rhythm. Of African Cuban influence & very popular in Mexican American culture, and now all diversities of cultures from around the globe dance and celebrate cumbia!
