Whether you are thirstin‟ for a painful rebirth or a smooth escape, listen to their latest track “Fuego” and you will be pleasantly lifted into an alternate state-of-mind.” -MTV Tr3s “Bomba Estéreo’s set at the Bowery Ballroom on Thursday night â€" part of a six-band lineup â€" was kaleidoscopic and danceable, mingling the clip-clop bounce of cumbia and another Colombian rhythm, champeta, with echoey guitar, reggae backbeats and the singing and rapping of Liliana Saumet. “We are exploring the tradition, but in our independent way,” said Simón Mejía, the band’s guitarist, producer and composer.” -THE NEW YORK TIMES “Vocalist Li Saumet embodies both the modern and the traditional elements of the group: spitting rhymes like Mala Rodriguez and Zack de la Rocha one minute, singing with the nasal intonation of tropical singers likes of salsero Joe Arroyo the next.” -TIME OUT NEW YORK “Love the loping cumbia funk of Bomba Estereo's „Blow Up‟… Yummy groove, excellent for sweat-greased summer booty grind down.” -MIAMI HERALD “Absolutely one of the coolest cd‟s I‟ve heard in a while. Just great. Can‟t wait to feature on KCRW.” -TOM SCHNABEL / KCRW “Bomba Estereo delivered an incredibly high octane performance at Central Park, as lead singer Li Saumet danced, kicked and jumped her way around the stage. By the time the group closed their set with their song "Fuego," Saumet had the crowd excitedly dancing and screaming along.” -SPIN EARTH Tickets @ http://www.ticketmaster.com/ 1-800-745-3000 Tickets @ The Middle East’s Box Office @ 472 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA. 18+ Event, $20 Comenzamos temprano para terminar temprano para aquellos que deben madrugar.
