Last month, we had the pleasure of interviewing one of our favorite acts en Español from Bogotá with Simón Mejía from Bomba Estéreo. A massive thank you to talented Denver director, Manuel Aragon, for the video! Watch below where Simon talk about Bomba’s latest album, “Ayo,” life and their top-notch videos. Speaking of which, in case you missed it, check out their latest clip with the tennis friendly video featuring Balkan Beat Box with “Química.” It’s quite possible that the “Química” piece could easily pass as a promo video for French clothing label, Lacoste.
Bomba Estéreo is currently on tour with Arcade Fire in Latino America in which all shows are going to be major dance parties, no doubt. Do yourselves a favor and listen to their 2017 smash release, “Ayo.”
Behind the strong stage presence of vocalist Liliana Saumet and band founder Simón Mejía, Bomba Estéreo brought a brand of cumbia that curved most of the Pepsi Center crowd into a manic dance frenzy. Behind the release of their fifth album, “Ayo,” Mejia and company flexed their vast material with crowd pleasers “Fuego” and “Soy Yo.” Although, newer material like “Internacionales” and “Ayo” received the special treatment in the first of many nights opening up for Arcade Fire.
Excerpt taken from their show at the Pepsi Center last month.
