Frente Cumbiero is a Bogota, Colombia based cumbieros outfit founded by Mario Galeano & Eblis Álvarez widely recognized as one of the spearheads of the cumbia nueva (new cumbia) movement in Colombia, because of their fresh, contemporary take on cumbia. The bands leader, Colombian songwriter/producer Mario Galeano draws his inspiration as well as the samples that form the base of his contemporary tracks, from his large collection of cumbia records, mainly from the 60s & 70s.
Frente Cumbiero creates innovative danceable tropical music driven by crazy keys/electronics, uplifting horns, & energetic percussion. Frente Cumbiero in the past have played great concerts at festivals like Roskilde, Womad, & Fuji Rock as well as collaborating with Kronos Quartet & recorded this album with Dub master Mad Professor. The Dub tracks 8-14 are mixed by Mad Prof. with the track “Ariwacumbé” composed just for Mad Professor by the band.
