Mariposas Galácticas is an eight‑piece Cumbia Klezmer Punk band based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Combining band members’ South American and Jewish ancestries, the group creates a unique diasporic sound that gets audiences everywhere dancing with rebellious joy.
By honoring their Indigenous Andean musical heritage—blended with punk‑inflected, ancient Jewish melodies—the band performs a mix of original and classic tunes that span multiple languages, cultures, and genres.
Mariposas Galácticas has toured the East Coast and collaborated with international acts such as Brazilian rock band Os Mutantes, Mexican cumbia punk band Son Rompe Pera, and Argentinian tropi‑punk band Kumbia Queers.
