Grupo Rebolú CD Release Performance

Posted on Monday, September 7

Sounds like Africa transplanted in the New World…like the intermarriage of culture and sound between Black and Indigenous Colombia…like beautiful melodies of the Kuisi Sigi and Kuisi Bunzi (Colombian gaitas) dancing on top of thundering Afro-Colombian drums…sounds like hundreds of years of tradition being resepected and maintained, while being fused with the modern sounds of the Black Caribbean…sounds like the memories and spirits of “Batata” Salgado, “El Diablo” Tovar, and countless other heroes of Afro-Colombian history speaking to us…along with the spirits of every Black and Indigenous Colombian that fought to preserve their culture…sounds like Colombia continuing to make a name for itself on the North American and Global music scene…sounds like a really, really, REALLY fun time.
