Chulita K Mala - Los Tambores Travel

I started this set thinking about the cultural connection to Islam & the Middle East in Latin America (thanks colonialism!) and followed the thought to the overlap of latinx musical styles with west african traditions. I invite you to listen and meditate on the connections between the songs and their peoples.
— Chulita K Mala

Krystall aka K Mala (she/her) was born in North Texas and spent nearly a decade in the northeast before settling in Austin. Her time in both places solidified her love of cumbias & norteños and gave her a new-found love of salsa, bachata & exploring all kinds of musical traditions.
