Breaking Boundaries Band was born on 2014 in Vancouver, Canada, BC. The essence of this musical project is Colombian folk music, specifically Cumbia & Vallenato. Through the accordion John express the sounds of sacred chants, the Colombian accordion tradition and the sounds of two native indigenous flutes (Millo and Gaita) accompanied by an strong percussion element. These rhythms are famous for infecting people with joy and inviting them to dance.
Breaking Boundaries is happy to perform at any event, small or big, we would accommodate to your needs, being possible to perform as a duo or big band.
Since the Covid-19 we have had to stop some weekly events but we are doing our best to keep the music going. Some performances are happening outdoors meeting the necessary distance requirements, text us for any updates, since every beginning of the week we decided the location of our performance.
