Afrocolombian music fusion project
Bumaranga offers a mixture of percussions and flutes typically Colombian with a modern touch brought by drums and electric instruments. The African and indigenous influences are marked, the rhythms are penetrating and very rhythmic. The result is a fusion of sounds that preserves the roots of Afro-Colombian music and its essence where the attractive rhythms offered by traditional drums such as the "Tambora" and "Alegre" invite to dance and share in a festive atmosphere.
The group won the Syli D'or 2013, a world music competition organized by the producers of the Nuits D'Afrique festival in Montreal, as well as the Vivacité Montréal grant awarded by the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec, the PRIX RADIO CIBL and COUP DE COEUR FESTIVAL FRANCOFOLIES 2014 as a showcase for Vision Diversité. Bumaranga is a project that contributes to the musical diversity of Canada.
