From the vibrant musical landscape of Austin, Texas, emerges Nemegata, a fearless band reshaping the boundaries of sound and rebelling against musical norms. Rooted in Latin American traditions, particularly influenced by Abya Yala, Nemegata rejects Eurocentric labels, transcending the confines of outdated terms like "world music." Instead, they carve a unique space for authentic expressions, resignifying ancestral elements into their high-energy, mesmerizing, and mystic sound.

As Colombian musicians in the USA, Nemegata channels the migrant experience and Latinx diaspora, transforming the challenges Latin America endures into a profound artistic expression through their music. Led by the fearless and passionate Víctor-Andrés Cruz, known as "El Guámbito," Nemegata is a power trio where each member contributes unique strengths. César Valencia, "I Nova," and Fabián Rincón, "Don Fabo," bring their strong, potent, and powerful rhythm to infuse vitality into the music.

Their second full-length album, 'VOCES' (Voices), produced by Juan "El Mono" Alvarez and Grammy Award-winner Beto Martinez, is a transcendent expression of Colombian heritage. Laden with jungle echoes, eerie synthesizers, and psychedelic guitars soaked in tobacco nuances, 'VOCES' pays homage to ancestral voices and the resilience of Colombian youth.

Nemegata draws inspiration from Colombian traditions—cumbia, bullerengue, gaita music, and Andean melodies—blending them with mind-bending '60s and '70s psychedelia from Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. Their resignified take on Latinx sounds and commitment to Abyayalismo have earned them acclaim, showcasing their magnetic stage presence and musical prowess.

Nemegata received nominations at the 2022, 2023, and 2024 Austin Music Awards, solidifying their standing in the vibrant Austin music scene. Their participation in the Austin City Limits Music Festival in 2023 and Levitation Festival in both 2022 and 2023 further showcased their artistic evolution. Nemegata isn't just making music; they are crafting a cultural force—a testament to resilience, a celebration of Latinx identity, and a transformative journey through the realms of sound.
