Remezcla Speaks To Combo Chimbita’s Prince Of Queens

“In a zeitgeist consumed by nostalgia,” begins a recent feature on Combo Chimbita‘s new LP Ahomale in Remezcla, “artists embracing futurism and the daunting task of charting new sonic waters feel like an increasingly necessary breath of fresh air. On Combo Chimbita’s new album Ahomale, a tidal wave of sound and spirituality embraces tropical futurism, more closely evoking the wormhole leading us to another dimension than the destination itself.” The site continues, “singles like ‘Testigo’ and the title track strike an unconventional balance of power chords, frenetic percussion, and space-age synths that thrust the listener into a mind-expanding universe of sabrosura. But before getting too lost in the journey, Carolina Olivero’s wise, commanding vocals cut through the fray, reminding us of the ancestral traditions that created these sounds.” Read the full feature, which includes an interview with bandmember Prince Of Queens, here.

Combo Chimbita continues tour North America, with a show Friday in Houston. Make sure Ahomale is playing at your station.
