Gio Chamba is the electrifying duo of Gio Alejandro and Coffee Guzman, known for their high-octane live shows and genre-blurring sound. Hailing from the cultural crossroads of Houston, their music fuses psychedelic cumbia, thumping electronic beats, fiery rap verses, and tropical melodies into a contagious blend that gets crowds moving and spirits lifted.
Over the past nine years, Gio Chamba has become a force in the Latin-alternative and global music scenes, sharing stages with luminaries like AB Quintanilla & Los Kumbia Allstarz, Ozomatli, Natalia Lafourcade, Caravan Palace, Chicano Batman, Las Cafeteras, Sonido Gallo Negro, and Dengue Dengue Dengue. Their festival and venue appearances include standout sets at Free Press Summer Fest, Super Bowl Live (Houston), Fortress Festival (Fort Worth), CMJ Showcase (NYC), Mole de Mayo and Villapalooza (Chicago), MXLAN (McAllen), and The Aztec Theatre (San Antonio).
At the heart of the project is a deep devotion to the dancefloor. Gio delivers hypnotic guitar solos, gritty rap verses, and dreamy vocals, while Coffee powers the rhythm section with punk energy and precision, smashing congas and locking into grooves that hit like a freight train. The result: a sound rooted in cumbia but exploding into something new, wild, and unmistakably Gio Chamba.
With a rapidly growing online following—57K+ TikTok and 49K+ Instagram fans—their Psychedelic-Electronic Cumbia is reaching ears across the Americas and beyond, poised to light up dancefloors and festival stages worldwide.
