Grupo Fantasma + Cumbia Chilombiana

GrupoFantasm

Sound Culture presents: The intrepid members of Grupo Fantasma have been doing things their own way for over a decade now, which continues with the highly anticipated and self-produced El Existential out May 11, 2010 on Nat Geo Music.  An exceptional followup to their Grammy nominated Sonidos Gold (2008), this new effort’s love for exploration using the sounds and fundamentals of traditional Latin styles is uniquely reminiscent of Fania Records; and GF, like Fania’s staple of artists in its prime, has been on the corner long enough to not only be tough, resilient and self-assured, but also be mature enough to turn out top quality material repeatedly on its own terms.

The cumbia chilombiana, Chico Trujillo’s trademark infectious rhythm, is a new version of classic cumbia, bolero, ska & rock mixed with traditional Chilean rhythms. The band performs to raving reviews, concerts for the freedom of Mapuche political prisoners to the stages of major world capitals.
