CHICOS
Y MENDEZ
19.09.2026
Ancienne Belgique
After more than a decade of performances across Europe and Latin America, Chicos y Mendez returned to AB to present Latidos,
its new album.
Led by Belgian-Peruvian singer-songwriter David Méndez Yépez, Chicos y Mendez has established itself as a distinctive voice in Latin alternative pop. Warm, uplifting music driven by songs about what beats between people, reminding us that the bonds we create can also be acts of resistance.
For this special evening, Chicos y Mendez welcomed special guest Renata Flores for her very first concert in Belgium. Described by The New York Times as the "Queen of Quechua Rap," the Peruvian artist from Ayacucho brings the language of her ancestors to stages around the world.
On September 19, Chicos y Mendez unveiled the world of Latidos live on stage for the very first time. An album that celebrates what connects us: love, desire, transmission, shared stories, and the power of human encounters.What a beautiful evening it was — celebrating the release of Latidos and making a collective heart beat. Thank you to everyone who was there and made this moment so special.

Latidos means ‘heartbeats’ in Spanish. Through a warm and contemporary style of alternative Latin pop, Chicos y Mendez explore the force of life: desire, creation, transmission, doubt, fragility and resilience — everything that moves through us, sets us in motion and connects us to others.
