Rich in centuries of creolization, the music of the Caribbean basin is among the most diverse and fascinating in the world. Today, its heritage crosses the oceans and continues to reinvent itself in an ever-richer mise en abyme of sound and narrative.
With Dámelo, their debut album, Pambelé offer a subtle blend of Afro-Colombian folk rhythms and acidic, piercing sounds inspired by the psychedelic movement of the 60s. Through this crossbreeding, the group makes a strong statement of transatlantic cultural universality, resolutely Caribbean.
The percussion and traditional chants of the Colombian Caribbean coast mingle with the incisive riffs of an electric guitar, and the voluptuous warmth of an old analog organ. This first opus, a veritable condensation of raw material, frantically invites us into a bewitching, torrid and exuberant trance, an irresistible call to dance.
