Summary:
Leaders in the New Colombian Music movement of New York City, their adopted home, Rebolú's vibrant, salsa-inspired music has its roots in the diverse Afrocentric rhythms of Colombia's Caribbean coast. On their Smithsonian Folkways debut, composer Ronald Polo, tambor alegre master Morris Cañate, percus¬sionist Erica "Kika" Parra, lead singer Johanna Castañeda, and their top-drawer bandmembers bring a battery of percussion, commanding gaita flute melodies, and make-you-move vocal stylings into the spotlight as they exuberantly reinvigorate generations-old traditions.
