Cypress Hill closes out explosive music festival headline run across Latin America
The legendary multiplatinum hip hop group Cypress Hill (B Real, Sen Dog, Eric “Bobo” Correa, DJ Lord) wrapped an explosive run headlining the biggest festivals across Latin Americana as part of their highly anticipated return. All throughout March, the group delivered high-octane performances at the beloved festivals including Vive Latino in Mexico City, Lollapalooza in Brazil and Tecate Pa’l Norte in Monterrey, Mexico, commanding the biggest audiences of the night for each. Marking one-of-a-kind moments with each set, they performed their biggest hits alongside their newest single “Wacha Trucha” where they brought out Mexican rap heavyweight Alemán for a guest performance at Vive Latino for a once-in-a-life-time transcending moment across generations – see photos of all three performances below.
This series of performances follow the news of their return to the spotlight with their single “Wacha Trucha” featuring Alemán release via HYBE Latin America. The song ushers in a thrilling new musical era for Cypress Hill that celebrates the rich cultural heritage that has long existed at the core of the group’s art as part of a larger body of work on the horizon. The track received critical acclaim from outlets such as GQ Mexico, Billboard Latin, Rolling Stone En Español, COLORS, HYPEBEAST LATAM, VICE, Okayplayer and more. “Wacha Trucha” fortifies a connection between Mexican and Chicano audiences, fusing classic West Coast hip-hop with the contemporary rap coming out of Mexico pioneered by one of Latin music’s biggest forces, Alemán, whose own sound was born from the work conceived by Cypress Hill.
Three decades in, Cypress Hill remains one of the most influential rap groups of all time with their music transcending generations, regions and languages: Grammy-nominated, globally toured, and sampled across generations. The return of the LA icons proves to not only be timely but also essential.
