Colombia’s Bomba Estereo gave us a live lesson in Cumbia this morning as part of an explosive set of dance
music. They gave us a taste of the genre in its simplest form during the interview with Jason, but the bulk of
their live performance was a mix of Afro-Caribbean rhythms with electro, dub, hip hop and more for a sound they
call "electro-tropical."  Raul Campos came back from this year’s Latin Alternative Music Conference raving
about the band and, around the same time, they played to huge crowds at Denmark’s prestigious Roskilde
Festival.
