"Meet Oleada: Your Passport to Chicha Extravaganza!"

¡Hola, music lovers! Allow us to introduce ourselves—we're Oleada, your premier chicha band hailing from the vibrant heart of Portland.

But wait, you might be wondering, what exactly is "chicha"? Well, it's a captivating variation of cumbia, a beloved South American rhythm that took Peru by storm back in the groovy 1970s. Now, fast forward to today, and we're here to give chicha a fresh twist. We infuse this infectious rhythm with a fusion of post-rock, dub reggae, jazz, psychedelic guitar, and even sprinkle in some captivating found sounds to create a musical experience like no other.

Our goal? To make your heart race, your feet move, and your soul dance to the rhythm of Oleada.

Audiences absolutely adore what we bring to the stage. Our music has lit up various iconic venues in Portland, including the electric atmosphere of Dante's, the foot-tapping Goodfoot, the intimate vibes of Mississippi Pizza, and the soulful beats of Valentine's. But hey, we don't stop there! We've taken our electrifying sound to cities like Woodburn, Gresham, Salem, and Vancouver, spreading the chicha magic wherever we go.

So, whether you're a seasoned chicha enthusiast or just someone looking for a night of unforgettable music and dancing, Oleada is here to whisk you away on a rhythmic adventure you won't soon forget. Book us now, and let's turn your event into a chicha-fueled fiesta that'll have everyone talking for years to come!
