Combo Chimbita Brooklyn Bowl New Sounds 40th Anniversary

Combo Chimbita at Brooklyn Bowl, Celebrating New Sounds, Part 2

Soundcheck | Dec 15, 2022

The four members of Combo Chimbita are from Colombia. But they met and formed their band here in New York. From their home base in Queens, Combo Chimbita plays a kind of tropical futurist pop that combines elements of Afro-Colombian spirituality, razor-sharp social commentary, and booty-shaking dance rhythms. Hear their set, live from the New Sounds 40th Anniversary Party from Brooklyn Bowl, and an interview with bass/synth player Prince of Queens. 

Set list:

  • Candela
  • Esto Es Real
  • Babalawo
