A band that was born during the pandemic, is a tasteful mixture of Rock, Ska, Blues, Cumbia, and jazz. 7 diverse individuals of different musical upbringings, with a common passion, their music.
Los Vicios de Papá is a high energy Latin ska fusion band with socially conscious lyrics stemming from our struggling and undocumented youth experience. Our sound started with a passion for ska/reggae and has evolved into an 8 piece band that arranges Cumbia, Dancehall, Huapachon, Hip Hop, Reggae and Ska creating an intoxicating mix that ignites fans into a dance-frenzy.
LVDP was born out of a crumbling public education system and failing immigration policy in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. We are a response to these systemic and unjust inequities; we create an upbeat way out.
From the incredibly infertile DIY scene of Chicago this Blues/Psychedelic/Rock trio is ready and more than willing to blow out eardrums and melt faces. The band formed by Javier Valencia (vocals/guitar), Isaac Del Toro (drums/vocals) Sergio Vargas (synths/bass)- combines sparkling hooks and fluid, fluttering rhythms to create psychedelia-tinged garage rock that make heads bob without sacrificing an ounce of sonic bite.
