Venezuelan producer and multi-instrumentalist Caribombo is back with his new album “Barrio Popular”, and it’s a true outlier, that would be hard to put into any specific existing category.
About Caribombo Barrio Popular
From the African Salsa dancer “Bolingo” to the global club banger “El Catire”, Barrio Popular is as much a floor filler than a deep listen; an eclectic journey that draws on the French African and South-Asian diasporas’ musical cultures to create colourful pieces of Dance music inspired by the artist’s Colombo-Venezuelan heritage.
Cumbia, Dub, Afro-House, Afro-Venezuelan music, UK Bass, Favela Funk, Salsa, Downtempo and Hip-Hop are among the numerous genres Caribombo effortlessly explores in this new, mature and surprisingly coherent project, where organic sounds harmoniously meet impeccably produced electronic beats and skilful Latin drumming.
As its name suggests, Barrio Popular is a musical adventure to the world’s popular neighbourhoods, featuring guest rising stars from Mexico, Uganda, Venezuela, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the UK.
