Los Bitchos joins host Raina Douris

Made up of four friends who all hail from different countries: Uruguay, Australia, England and Sweden, Los Bitchos’ all-instrumental, cumbia style music has sounded like a party since they started playing together in 2017. On their new album, Talkie Talkie, that party is happening in a neon-lit 80s nightclub of the same name – and on the World Cafe, Los Bitchos take you there with an interview and live performance.

Listen to the session here.
