SONORA DINAMITA
cumbia, cumbia
the more you look the more you see. what group?
& then there’s tropical kitsch cumbia from the heartland - ZAP! POW! aburdist Colombian pop enjambs comic-thrash breakdowns. The chorus, a self-fulfilling sentence echoed in the first song as well, poses between statement and command: Y bailaremos la cumbia. Y gozaremos la cumbia.

at the Spain show this Saturday a Venezuelan girl with Colombian parents called her mother so that she could hear the cumbia i was playing. “This doesn’t happen in Madrid!!” An honor to have reached someone down those circuits.
500 kids came to the party! Madrid sube. foto nicked from Sr. Atlantico’s flickr.
