Psychedelic Cumbia and Tropical Beats with Frente Cumbiero
Ever since we recorded that iconic Quantic set video on the boat (now +4M views 😮), I've wanted to record a set of his partner in crime on the Ondatrópica project, Mario Galeano! So here's finally Mario, also known as the leader of the psychedelic cumbia project Frente Cumbiero, and a prime researcher and record collector of everything cumbia and Columbian traditional music. I had the chance to record him on my last trip to Bogota in the lovely Paradisco bar in the Chapinero neighborhood, a highly recommended audiophile and music lover spot if you're in town! Enjoy!
A few words from Frente Cumbiero:
Desde Bogotá para el mundo, una selección de discos (+ delay) principalmente de 45s colombianos que se mueve entre la cumbia, charanga, salsa, fandango, champeta etc. Ritmos tropicales pa los corazones y los pies. Gózalo.
