RITMOS CHOLULTEKA aka BRUNO SIN MÁS (DJ & Photographer) based in Lisbon. One of the pioneers of the “nights of cumbia and Latin American music” in the Portuguese capital. Creator of "Movimiento Cumbiero" a movement to unify Latin American residents in the city from 2013.

Founder of NAHUEL COLECTIVO, with the purpose of spreading Latin American culture in Portugal and co-founder of the TROPIKAOZ project.  Currently producer and curator of the BALKAN VS CUMBIA monthly party at TITANIC SUR MER (Lisbon).

Bruno Zayas comes from what was once a small rural town in Mexico and formerly a native civilization (Cholula). The mixture of native roots with popular sentiments has always been very influential in the musical journey and "bailanguero" (dance journey). Giving the result to intervene with the audience with a mixture of these two roots, to fill them with CUMBIA in heart and soul, but with the detail of amplifying dance and pleasure with electronic, Balkan or African sounds. The objective is to go around the world dancing to the rhythm of interculturality.
The DJ sets have a deep and lively energy mixed with Mexican pre-Hispanic instruments and accompanied by native visuals.

Throughout the process Rhythms Cholulteka has shared the stage in festivals and local partys  with national and international artists as Largatijeando, Kurup, Ohxalá, Venga Venga, Manu Chau, Rafael Aragon, R Vicenzo, Cigarra, Birdzzie, Matu and Pandilla, Shantel, Balkumbia, Tremenda Jauria and many more ... 




Proviene de lo que fue un pequeño pueblo rural de México y antiguamente una civilización nativa (Cholula). La mezcla de la raíz autóctona con los sentimientos populares siempre fue muy influyente en el transcurso musical y “bailanguero”. Dando el resultado de querer intervenir ante el público con una mezcla de estas dos raices para llenarlos de CUMBIA en alma y corazón, pero con el detalle de amplificar el baile y la gozadera con beats electronicos, balcánicos o africanos. El punto sabroso es, darle la vuelta al mundo echando un baile al ritmo de la interculturalidad.
