Jungle Fire’s “Chalupa” is another joint in a long list of dope singularities from the Los Angeles Funkster band.
It’s “Welcome back to Bboysounds” for Jungle Fire (@jungle_fire), who we’ve featured since our early days, and we’ve been missing these homies.
This “Afro Cumbia Funk” joint is emblematic of the Jungle Fire sound, and that’s why we love them.
It’s also why they’ve shared the stage with Bboy Funk legends The Blackbyrds, Charles Wright, Quantic, Budos Band, and many more.

Some background on Jungle Fire from their website:
The JUNGLE FIRE sound digs deep into afro/latin funk with an approach that is both authentic and highly explosive! Comprised of musicians from the Los Angeles region, JUNGLE FIRE pulls it’s influences from such legends as Ray Camacho, Enrique Lynch, Ray Barretto, James Brown, Fela Kuti and Manu Dibango (just to name a few) to create a melting pot of afro-cuban rhythms, break-beats and 70′s inspired funk.
Originally conceived as a one-off project back in 2011, JF quickly gained attention and thus proved its place among the thriving LA funk/soul scene by lighting up local clubs, venues and underground warehouse parties.
And if you missed their video for “Comencemos” you need to peep it below:
