Los Bitchos - “Pista (Great Start)”

SXSW 2020 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 3 

Pairs Well With…Squid, Hinds, Bodega

Los Bitchos may reside in London, but their music conjures a Cumbian dance vibe straight out of Columbia. The instrumental all-female group features drums, bass, two guitars, and a keytarist (hell yeah!). What they lack in lyrics, they make up for in a myriad of chants, yelps and cheers spread throughout their tracks. Los Bitchos make music you blare from your car with the windows down. They lock into Afro-pop rhythms and tropical grooves that pair nicely with a chorus pedal and palm trees. (Drew Doggett)
