Los Mitoteros live in Milwaukee

Experience Los Mitoteros live on October 10th

Los Mitoteros, a musical group originating from Chicago, Illinois, will be performing at Linneman’s Riverwest Inn in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on October 10, 2026. The band is known for its energetic performances of *cumbia sonidera*, a distinctly Chicago-based subgenre of cumbia. This style blends traditional Colombian cumbia with elements of electronic music, sampling, and often features shouted vocalizations and personalized dedications (“mitotes”) delivered by the *sonidero* – the DJ/MC figure central to the genre. Los Mitoteros have been active in the Chicago cumbia scene for over a decade, contributing to its growing popularity and evolution.

Linneman’s Riverwest Inn is a long-standing bar and music venue located in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood. Established in 1947 as a tavern, it has consistently operated as a neighborhood gathering place. Over the years it has become particularly known for hosting live music, frequently showcasing local and regional acts across diverse genres including punk, indie rock, and Latin music. The venue maintains a deliberately unpolished aesthetic and is recognized for its intimate performance space and strong community ties within Riverwest.
