Bandcamp Daily Explores The New Combo Chimbita LP

Bandcamp Daily has a long feature on Combo Chimbita that includes an interesting interview with the quartet’s members. Describing the group’s sound, Bandcamp writes, “Tradition may be the starting point for the band’s music, but innovation is an equally defining feature of their music. They don’t play cumbia, or any other single style. They experiment and follow their instincts, creating new music, which they describe as ‘tropical futurism.'” Learn more about Combo Chimbita, and their phenomenal new LP Ahomale, here.

Ahomale is off to a great start at radio, landing at #3 at NACC Latin and #11 at NACC World yesterday. But this is not merely a genre record, as it also took the #44 spot in its first week on the NACC Radio 200.
