It is said that no hip can resist the flow of cumbia... a living, evolving language.
Rooted in Afro-Indigenous rhythms and reimagined through electronics, this set moves at 87 BPM: slow enough to sway, steady enough to carry the body.
Traditional percussion, gaitas, and folkloric melodies meet dub textures, synth basslines, and contemporary production. The result is romantic, earthy, and deeply danceable, music that stays close to the ground while looking forward.

"Cumbia refers to a number of musical rhythms and folk dance traditions of Latin America, generally involving musical and cultural elements from American Indigenous peoples, enslaved Africans during colonial times, and Europeans." (Wikipedia)
