Frente Cumbiero + Indus + Julieta Garay (La Filosa) + Hija de la Coca en Barcelona

First chapter of La Diablada, a night bringing together four acts from cumbia and Latin American sounds at La 2 in Barcelona, with artists from Colombia, Argentina and Barcelona.

Frente Cumbiero, led by Mario Galeano from Bogotá, takes Colombian cumbia towards dub, psychedelia and experimentation, and is one of the projects cited as a reference for the new Latin American cumbia. Indus, headed by the producer Óscar Alford from Barranquilla, blends traditional music of the Colombian Caribbean and Pacific coasts with synthesisers, Afro percussion and club electronica.

Julieta Garay, known as La Filosa, represents from Barcelona the link with the Argentine diaspora, with a cumbia scene built around the accordion of Santa Fe, cumbia villera and its crossovers with urban sounds. Hija de la Coca completes the bill with a proposition more oriented towards the dance floor, moving between cumbia, reggaeton, dembow and Latin club.

The evening is conceived as a night of roots, diaspora and mestizaje, with Colombia, Argentina and Barcelona connected on one and the same dance floor.
