"Discos Resaca approaches Cumbia as living art in constant evolution, deeply rooted in heritage. Founded in 2017 by accordionist and producer Ivan Flores, the collective has carved out its own space through live shows and limited vinyl runs, centered on hybrid Cumbia reflective of the region's diverse Latine communities."
"Flores, born and raised in East San José, began his career in the arts as a teenager. He's since spent more than two decades in the local scene, including early history with groups like Lado Oriente and La Colectiva."
"The demand for Cumbia outside of the Latine bars and community spaces was non-existent in the Bay Area, so we had to create it organically and have seen so much growth in the past twenty years."
