ECNO (El Conjunto Nueva Ola) is a six-man cumbia band originally from Mexico City. Combining classic new wave, rock, and disco with Latin cumbia rhythms, ECNO takes audiences by storm with their hilarious, irreverent, and highly entertaining on-stage antics and energetic performances. The band has performed throughout the US and Mexico and has graced the stages of top Hispanic television networks, including Telemundo, Telefutura and Univision.
Who are the masked men and what are their true identities? This is the question that many media reporters have asked. No one knows the answer yet, but ECNO’s mission is simple: to bring great energy, attitude, and music to the world and get people everywhere dancing to the rhythm of cumbia.
Concert of Colors is metro Detroit’s free annual global music festival, an upbeat event celebrating diverse World music traditions-including the indigenous music of the Motor City. The festival also hosts the Forum on Community, Culture and Race, a series of conversations with artists, cultural and community leaders examining the role of the arts in overcoming social barriers.
