Barrio Popular

Description

Caribombo - Barrio Popular Venezuelan producer and multi-instrumentalist Caribombo is back with his new album "Barrio Popular," a truly exceptional musical work that would be difficult to categorize into any specific existing genre. From the African salsa track "Bolingo" to the club-ready "El Catire," Barrio Popular is as effective on the dance floor as it is for attentive listening at home; an eclectic journey drawing inspiration from the musical cultures of Franco-African and South Asian diasporas to create vibrant and danceable tracks, inspired by the artist's Colombian-Venezuelan heritage. Cumbia, Dub, Afro-House, Afro-Venezuelan music, UK Bass, Favela Funk, Salsa, Downtempo, and Hip-Hop are among the many genres that Caribombo effortlessly explores in this mature and surprisingly cohesive new project, where organic sounds harmoniously meet impeccably produced electronic rhythms and brilliantly played Latin percussion. As its name suggests, Barrio Popular is a musical adventure into the popular neighborhoods of the world, featuring rising stars from Mexico, Uganda, Venezuela, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the United Kingdom.
