Frente Cumbiero [Performance & Interview Only]

On the show this time, from Bogota, Columbia - the birthplace of Cumbia - it's the energetic joy of Frente Cumbiero. 

Frente Cumbiero has been making cumbia music since 2006, bringing their nuanced take on the music of the Latin-American people all over the world.  They’ve worked with dub magician and producer Mad Professor.  They’ve worked with avant-classical string players the Kronos Quartet.  More recently they made a record with Japanese folk revivalists the Minyo Crusaders.  All this to say, these are musicians musicians, who can play with anyone, and who always bring the party with them.  Their music is available on Bandcamp.
