One of the hottest music scenes in the world is emerging right now in Colombia
and through New York, the new home of many of Colombia's top musicians. These
groups have discovered a treasure in traditional Colombian music, and they are
fusing these folkloric sounds with the best of jazz, rock, and hip-hop to
produce something altogether new and exciting. This compilation brings you a
sampling of this scene--a collection of great music, much of it available for
the first time in the US. From New York, all of the Chonta artists are
represented, as well as the wonderful singer Marta Gomez. From Colombia, the
crowd-pleasers Mojarra Electrica and Cabuya have Top 10-worthy singles here
(each using humor to make important social points), and the Colombian band with
the biggest buzz, the hip-hop trio Chocquibtown, show up with a marimba-soaked
Pacific rap. Two pioneers of this new musical movement, Curupira and AlΘ Kuma,
demonstrate their mastery of reinventing traditional music, and fans of the
Colombian jazz scene will be thrilled to hear Medellin's masters, Puerto
Candelaria, along with the Bogota free jazzers, Asdrubal.
The CD has songs for dancing, partying, listening, and appreciating, but the
common energy (and great rhythms) makes for a cohesive, wonderful album.
