The Animeros

One Liner:  Instrumental cumbia grooves from here.

Wikipedia Genre:  No Wikipedia, but my brain wants to call this surf cumbia?

Home: Austin!

Poster Position: Bottom Quarter - Line 24
Weekend One Only.
Friday.

Thoughts: Four total songs and no Spotify bio at all, so we are definitely at the bottom of the poster by now.  The stream count on all four songs, even with the usual bump from being on this poster, maybe would add up to 10k streams.  I refuse to do math today.

Wikipedia says that an Animero is a person who is popularly attributed certain holiness and has something to do with the Canary Islands.

Here is their website bio: "From the “Live Music Capital of the World”—Austin, Texas—The Animeros blend various music styles that are sonically set somewhere between the lush jungles of Colombia, the palm-lined streets of coastal Mexico circa 1960, the small dusty cantinas of West Texas, and beyond. Since their inception in 2024, their sound and live performance has resonated with listeners and tastemakers alike, and in 2025 they were invited to play SXSW and ACL Fest."  A thing in the Statesman says this is made up of members from Superfonicos and El Combo Oscuro.  Sure.

No vocals in any of the songs, just like, vibes, man.  It all sounds cool to me!  I sincerely doubt I will be watching this show, but give me a sweet background groove like this to hang on the grass with, and that sounds like a nice start to the day.
