TropiCANIBALISMO Eats Los Ángeles: The Hunger for a Cumbia of the Future
09.09.24
Welcome to Sonámbula Radio — the global music show where DJ’s Miche and Langosta take each episode to transport you to the warehouses and garages across the world. We explore one genre in depth going into its history and learn about underground scenes of the past and present that have transformed, reclaimed, and revolutionized the genre by creating queer space either physically or sonically. Some genres explored include: cumbia, techno, baile-funk, mor lam music, etc. Bailemos!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tune into this episode of Sonámbula Radio as we dive into this experimental cumbia movement born in Bogotá, Colombia, and now heading straight to LA with ZZK’s Reina de Cumbia Festival! Get ready for an electrifying lineup featuring powerhouse acts like Amantes del Futuro and Frente Cumbiero.
Joining us is Mario from Frente Cumbiero, one of the originators of Tropicanibalismo. He’ll unravel the story of how Bogotá, a metropolis teetering between the tropical and the metallic, has become the cradle of a new cumbia—a sound that distills the grit of Colombian daily life into something both haunting and hypnotic. Mario will also guide a keynote presentation during the Reina de Cumbia festival on September 23rd, where this creation myth will be explored further.
