‘Sweet is the pineapple’, by Las Alegres Ambulances
In 1980, the group Las Alegres Ambulancias was born in San Basilio de Palenque. They are part of the Cabildo Lumbalú, which has existed since colonial times, and which brings together the older adults of the town in a religious brotherhood, in charge of organizing burials and the cult of the dead in Palenque. It is currently run by Tomás Teherán, with the voice of Emelia Reyes, “La Burgo”, children of the group’s founder, Graciela Salgado. This recording remained unreleased and is part of the Palenque Records recording archive, and its protagonist is precisely Graciela Salgado, who died a decade ago these days.
‘Aguila paramera’, by Moya and the Icebreakers
Camilo Moya from Bogotá was part of the jazz group Moaré. He later joined the salsa orchestra La-33 and created the indie rock band Bhang, active for more than a decade and with which he released four albums. After closing that cycle, Moya y Los Rompehielos was born, a band that navigates between rhythm’n’blues, soul and funk and Motown Records style sounds. After having been part of our programming with “I arrived in Cartago”, he premieres “Águila Paramera” with contemporary Andean sounds, in tribute to that emblematic bird, with video recorded between Santander, the Amazon and the Sumapaz moor.
‘You’re going to miss me’, by The African Wasps
Las Avispas Africanas is a group from Bucaramanga formed in 2014 and led by Henry Rincón. They define their style as alternative Latin music under the name “zumbao”, a style characterized by the discharge of flavor in percussion and lyrics that tell everyday stories. The group has two productions: “Zumbao”, an EP with five songs, and “Fuerza y temple”, their most recent album of 11 songs. “You’re going to miss me,” part of that latest work, is written in the Central African rhythm of soukous and is, according to its creators, “a farewell song, the daughter of spite and frustration, disguised as resentment and pride that ends up laughing at the battered ego.”
This song reaches the official programming of Radio Nacional de Colombia after passing through our space for emerging musicians Demo Estéreo.
