Today’s Video: La Cumbiamba eNeYé

We continue our look this week at musicians specializing in Colombian music with a look at La Cumbiamba eNeYé.

The group specializes in the Afro-Colombian music usually heard along the Atlantic coastal areas including puya and mapalé. The band’s inspiration comes from the pelayeras-chirimías, and the group includes members from the Americas as well as Isreal and the Netherlands.

A prime example of the group’s music is this number called “La Palma del Chontaduro”:
