BUMARANGA

Bumaranga, a word that African slaves brought to Colombia used to designate certain musical formations. It is quite naturally that Juan Sebastian Quiros chose this name to designate his fusion project of Afro-Colombian music. Bumaranga is a project that offers a mixture of typical Colombian percussion and flutes with a modern touch brought by electric instruments.

The result gives a fusion of sonorities coming from the roots of Afro-Colombian music and its essence, as well as the African and indigenous influence marked by the penetrating and very cadenced rhythms. The result is a rich music, with authentic sounds, where the attractive rhythms offered by traditional drums such as the “tambora” and the “alegre” drum stand out.

With rhythms like those of Cumbia, Puya, Tambora and Mapalé, each presentation of the Bumaranga group is an invitation to discover the modern musical flavors of Colombia.
