Conjunto Media Luna

He has adopted various formats, including the traditional quartet with former bandmates, however sonic exploration led Iván to venture into this solo format that emerges from electronics and accordion. In 2021 he released his first work on 7'' vinyl through the Japanese label Okra-Jirushi. Subsequently, his collaboration on the album "Paz en la tierra" with Meridian Brothers under the Swiss label Bongo Joe further consolidated their presence in the international music scene. In 2022, Conjunto Media Luna released its debut album, "Noches de Media Luna" and was produced by Eblis Alvarez (Meridian Brothers), recorded by Dani Michel at Mambo Negro Records and released by the label Little Beat More on 12-inch vinyl. In 2023, Conjunto Media Luna was nominated for Nuestra Tierra Awards in the Best Folklore Artist Category. Conjunto Media Luna has had tours during 2023 and 2024 in Mexico, United Kingdom and Europe leaving a testimony that respects tradition and embraces innovation around different expressions of cumbia. In 2025 a new album is presented: S.I.K. (International Kumbia Society) focused on electronic sounds with harsh accordion melodies that closes up an era of heavy kickdrums and dark vibes and that features collaborations with artists that have shaped Conjunto Media Luna’s vision over the past years. This release was supported by a European tour that included massive festivals such as Fusion Festival in Germany, Garbicz Festival in Poland and important independent venues such as Import Export in Munich and Alice in Copenhagen, not to mention the first edition of Kumbiavik festival in Reykjavik, Iceland
