As part of RedLine’s Roots Radical exhibition program, RedLine and Ciudad Reina present Una Historia de la Cumbia!, an event honoring the cultural giant that is the cumbia.
Featuring KUVO’s Super Sonido host La Molly and El Jaguar hailing from Oaxaca, MX, the evening kicks off with an interactive historical overview of the cumbia, from its beginnings to today.

About Ciudad Reina
Ciudad Reina, a Denver arts collaborative, was formed in 2022 to speak to Denver’s large and often overlooked Latine population, including them in the artistic heartbeat of this city.
Taking its name from a Spanish translation of Denver’s nickname “Queen City of the Plains,” Ciudad Reina looks to bring musicians from all over the world into some of Denver’s favorite local haunts, simultaneously showing off the vibrant and thriving Latine neighborhoods throughout the city.
