On the Songbyrd Music House stage this time, from Bogota, Colombia — the birthplace of Cumbia — it's the energetic joy of Frente Cumbiero. Frente Cumbiero has been making cumbia music since 2006, bringing their nuanced take on the music of the Latin-American people all over the world. They’ve worked with dub magician and producer Mad Professor. They’ve worked with avant-classical string players the Kronos Quartet. More recently they made a record with Japanese folk revivalists the Minyo Crusaders. All this to say, these are musician's musicians, who can play with anyone, and who always bring the party with them.
From the Quechua surúchi, literally, antimony; from the belief that the sickness is due to the presence of the metal in the Andes mountains. In the musical sense, it’s a light headed feeling one gets when consuming the intoxicatingly exotic sonic brew of intercultural wavelengths. Born in DC, based in Baltimore, SOROCHE seeks to transmogrify Cumbia, Punk, Ska, folk, and everything in between into a danceable alchemy that crosses cultural dancefloors.
All vinyl DJ sets with Nico Sophia & Claudia from Leon City Sounds
