Grupo Luma are a six-piece Latin American folk/fusion group led by Chilean brothers Francisco & Oscar Carrasco. The band presents some of the brothers’ original compositions from the past 30 years and their own individual arrangements of Latin American classics. 

Playing an exciting and diverse range of instruments including the Andean Charango and Quena (bamboo flute), the Venezuelan Cuatro, Peruvian Cajon and Argentinian Bombo, a range of Latin American drums & percussion, as well as Trumpet, Saxophone, Flute, Guitar and Bass guitar, the band takes the audience on a journey of the continent through a rich musical heritage.

Members of Grupo Luma are: Francisco & Oscar Carrasco, P. Max Alder, Erik Bichard, Phil Hargreaves and Fran Bass. In 2023 the band toured nationally to remember  the 50th Anniversary of the loss of democracy through a brutal Military coup in Chile and the Chilean popular song movement performing at festivals and events across the UK.

Grupo Luma play a wide variety of rhythms from across the South American continent, including such party favourites as Cumbia, Bolero and Tango, while including nods to Caribbean and African Musics, with hints of Jazz and Rock.
