Afro-Colombiana fusion
A band that blends traditional Colombian Caribbean rhythms with rock and funk. Led by Shangó Dely, they combine gaitas and tambor alegre (traditional Colombian flute and drum) with electric guitars, bass and drums. Their music highlights the cultural diversity of the Colombian Caribbean and shows a harmonious encounter between the traditional and the contemporary. The lyrics of their songs reflect the authentic Colombian way to feel, think and love. Each live performance is a show full of energy and passion.
