Batata y Las Ambulancias Alegres

Posted on Monday, June 14

Direct From Colombia

Batata & Las Alegres Ambulancias was started in 1905 in San Basilio de Palenque to preserve the Afro-Colombian musical traditions of the funeral ceremony known as Lumbalu. They represent the culture of Colombia’s Caribbean coast; a living demonstration of how this 500-year-old African tradition is surviving in a globalized world.

Unfortunately, this concert has been canceled.
