A good friend of NCE returns, our friend Dany F. With a new mixtape called Calle Trópico Mixtape. This mix is excellent, it features a lot of tracks that I have missed out on. I can’t get to all the songs released throughout the year so it’s always a pleasure when some are snagged up by someone else and shared with me. This is th [...]

Cumbia Machin – Esuper Cumbia
Cumbia Machin – Esuper Cumbia
Cumbia Machin came to my attention by following me on Soundcloud. I get a lot of new followers every day, which I believe has much more to do with my blogging than them being fans of my music, but still it is a good way to reach me, though not as good as Facebook.
I must admit that I don’t get around to checking out all of my new follo [...]
Checkpoint Guanabana’s New Video “Maria Majao”
Checkpoint Guanabana’s New Vide...
The funky Colombian cumbia band out of Berlin is back with their new video of their song Maria Majao. The second video to come from Checkpoint Guanabana shows even more depth to the bands creativity and fusion of Afro-tech, funk and cumbia sounds.
Now I can’t wait for an album release. I imagine it to be huge, but they’re going a [...]

This was actually quite a nice surprise. Roman (Turbo Sonidero Futuristico) Zepeda shared this interview in the Nu Cumbia Experience Facebook group today. It was recorded in 2011 but that doesn’t mean it’s outdated by any means. You see cumbia doesn’t disappear it just continues to grow. We’re not a part of a trend th [...]

Reptilian Commander came upon my radar like a huge meteor last year. With his futuristic wobbly bass driven cumbia and moombahton experiments.
Finally he gets a much needed release by Le Ronca Records with his EP “InBASSión Tripogaláctica.” I have featured most of the tracks on InBASSión Tripogaláctica on various blog posts in th [...]

The dopeness that is DJ Melo returns yet again with his 8th Candelaria Negra Radio three part session. He chose some sick tracks I never hear in mixes from anyone else. It’s always nice to here a mix that is fresh, which is the way most of us go about selecting tracks for our mixes. EL Maestro DJ Melo does it while showcasing his Melo- [...]
La Caimanera – Papayera Eléctrica
La Caimanera – Papayera Eléctri...
How appropriate for a band in Medellin, Colombia to have a raw fresh cumbia sound. La Caimanera reminds me of punk rock. And that is a good thing for cumbia to remind me of because I’ve associated the rawness of old school cumbia with punk rock. In the same way that reggae is associated with it. The music is looser and not so strictly [...]
Checkpoint Guanabana – Cumbia From Berlin
Checkpoint Guanabana – Cumbia F...
A few months back I wrote about this band on one of my Generation Bass – Sexxy Saturday Cumbia blog posts. I want to revisit them so I’m doing that here. Checkpoint Guanabana have a fresh new exciting sound, and such bands are always welcome in my eyes. I love their funkiness, their mix of classic cumbia rhythms with modern beats [...]

La China Sonidera is a very enjoyable cumbia band. Their sound is perfect for the relaxed party atmosphere. Their music makes one want to get up and dance. These traits are perfect for a working band, especially a cumbia band.
Everything is top notch quality, from the guitars, to the percussion to the vocals. Humbly the band resides in Oaxac [...]

Nu Cumbia Mixtape – 50003zgz
Have you ever wondered what nu cumbia sounds like? If you already know nu cumbia, how many times have you had to explain to friends and acquaintances what it is? Many times I even have to travel back in time to first explain what cumbia is. That’s how the majority of the nu cumbia conversations happen up here in the United States (we&# [...]
