Bomba Estéreo

The Best New Band in the World - MTV One of the most promising bands to emerge from South America in the new millennium, Bomba Estereo merges sticky cumbia beats with electronica. - APPLE iTUNES. This exciting quintet from Bogata, wraps traditional Colombian cumbia rhythms around psychedelic electronic beats, with whirlwind results. In past few years Bomba Estéreo has commandeered the sweltering dance stages of Bonnaroo, Coachella and South by Southwest like a firestorm. The band came together as a project formed within the rich underground electronic scene that has become Bogota, Colombia. Recruiting fierce singer Liliana Saumet to join the group, the group plays an explosive dance-fusion of electronic dub and hip-hop, in a similar vein as M.I.A. and Santigold. Bomba made their U.S. debut at SXSW, an experience that helped establish the group and their latest release, "Blow Up." In the last several months, the group has toured everywhere from New York and Brazil out to London and Dublin. MTV launched Bomba Estereo as their "Discover and Download" featured artist for the entire month, adding the "Fuego" video into heavy rotation. This exciting news followed the group's 7 electrifying shows in 5 days across New York City in July, which culminated with a set at Central Park SummerStage with Puerto Rican hip hop icons Calle 13. The hypnotic beat and the layers of sound provide background for the vocals of Liliana Saumet, who reminds one of M.I.A. and Annabella Lwin from Bow Wow Wow. Saumet is so full of movement and color that it's hard to take your eyes off this appealing and dynamic singer. Between the suspended pitches of Saumet and the wafting pulse of electronics, this band is truly extraordinary, and damn irresistible to dance to. Visit bombaestereo.com
