Combo Chimbita invites you on a sonic journey with their latest release, IRÉ. This album is a powerful expression of cultural identity, blending rapturous cumbia, ancestral drumming, free jazz, and electronic elements to create a sound that resonates deeply. The quartet, based in New York City, draws inspiration from their Colombian roots and the ancient continent of Abya Yala, crafting a musical experience that goes beyond conventional boundaries.
With IRÉ, Combo Chimbita showcases their dynamic range and innovative spirit. The album serves as a testament to their artistic evolution and commitment to exploring themes of resistance and spiritual awakening. The creative synergy of Carolina Oliveros (vocals, guacharaca), Niño Lento es Fuego (guitar), Prince of Queens (bass, synthesizers), and Dilemastronauta (drums) transcends time and geography, inviting listeners to connect with the essence of their music.
