On the show this time, it's the punk rock marimba of Son Rompe Pera.

Son Rompe Pera was formed in 2017, by brothers - Kacho and Mongo Gama.  They built up their skill on their father’s marimba, playing the streets, the markets, and weddings.  The “Pera” in the band name is from their mother’s name “Esperanza.” They hail from the suburbs of Mexico City and proudly combine traditional music, cumbia, and rock to create their own powerful style of music. They have performed all over the world, from Vive Latino to Coachella. Their latest album is “Chimborazo” available on AYA Records.
