Combo Chimbita Channels Ancestral Wisdom Via Latinx Psych-Funk

Soundcheck | May 2, 2019

Hear tropical psych-rock from Combo Chimbita, a quartet based in New York City by way of Colombia. Their tropical psych-rock is an alchemical experiment of drawing on ancestral mythologies, metal strangeness, and deep groove. Their latest record, Ahomale, is a blend of futuristic flange-y electric rock and funk, with vintage synths and tropical rhythms, all supporting Carolina Oliveros’s powerful vocals in a quest to connect with the spiritual realm. Combo Chimbita joins us in-studio to play some of these new songs. - Caryn Havlik

Set list: 

  • Ahomale
  • Brillo Más Que El Oro (La Bala Apuntándome)
  • Esto Es Real (8100mg)
