Welcome to the Global Sounds Salamanca series, live in the Founders Room on Woobys Lane.

XIXA (pronounced 'Chi-cha') is an infectious nine-piece Cumbia sensation, bringing tropical sounds made for dancing!
Viva la Cumbia!
Viva Xixa!

Friday 10th APRIL 2026
Doors & bar open at 7pm
Music from 7:30pm

The Founders Room on Woobys Lane
Salamanca Arts Centre

~~~~~

XIXA was born out of the ashes of a pandemic. Cumbia is their rhythmic pulse, made for dancing, but they'll throw in a power ballad for a quick breather.
Xixa's horn section will get you moving, guitar and bass will set your soul ablaze, keys will transport you to the tropics, and rhythmic percussion will sync your heartbeat with one another's.
Grab your dancing orthotics, bring your friends, bring your auntie and let's make some memories!
Viva la Cumbia, Viva Xixa!

XIXA is: Elias Solis - CONGAS, LEAD VOCALS | Aaron Entresz - GUITAR | Oliver Plapp - BASS | Thomas Webster - KEYBOARD, ACCORDION, VOCALS | Eduardo Venegas - DRUM KIT, TIMBALES, VOCALS | Jaime Anabalon - GUIRO, VOCALS | James Verral - TRUMPET | David Cavallo - TRUMPET | Adam Davenport-Hortle - TROMBONE
