â—Š Swinging release party from Brussels-based Latin alternative band
Chicos y Mendez, the Belgian-Peruvian music project led by singer-songwriter David Méndez Yépez, is finally back in Brussels to celebrate the release of their new album.
For the past ten years, Chicos y Mendez has been forging a path between Europe and Latin America — from Belgium to Mexico, through France, the Netherlands, Peru, and Ecuador — with a vibrant Latin Alternative sound. A bold fusion of Afro-Latin rhythms, pop, rock, and reggae, carried by lyrics in Spanish and French, blending stage energy with poetic commitment.
After a detour into theatre with the acclaimed "Recordar, c'est vivre à nouveau" — a play co-created with his sister and hailed by RTBF as “the most beautiful show of the season” — David returns to his first love: music.
On October 2, Chicos y Mendez comes back to Brussels, the city he now calls home. After igniting the AB in 2021 with a post-Covid reopening show, a double bill with Flavia Coelho that left a mark, the band is ready to write the next musical chapter. ¡Vamos!
