Verano Peligroso
Verano Peligroso is made up of DJs JacintoDiYEah! and EsaMiPau!, who have come together to create a mix of neo-cumbia and indie folk. The duo released their debut EP Culpable in 2012 and most recently released single "Meneo Perreo" in October 2015. The single, along with its three remixes, derives from the band’s visit to Singapore where they performed at a Day of the Dead show.
