Lula Music and Arts Centre and OM Producciones Music International present
COLOMBIAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY WITH SEXTETO TABALÁ FROM SAN BASILIO DE PALENQUE
DIRECT FROM COLOMBIA
Lula Lounge, Toronto - July 22, 2011
Sexteto Tabalá bring us the diverse musical genres of San Basilio de Palenque, the first free town in
America. Their sound is a unique mixture of Cuban son with Afro-Colombian rhythms such as bullerengue, porros, cumbia and funeral rituals.
The sexteto is a rhythm originating in the deeper source of Afro Cuban son, the changui or nengon, which arrived in Colombia thanks to the sugar mills led by Cubanos and the songs the Cubans shared with the Palenqueros in the quiet moments after work.
Sexteto music was adopted by Tabalá in the 1930s and was mixed with other local styles to create a new musical genre - The Afro Colombian Sexteto, a
form that was very different from initial Cuban model. In Colombia the Sexteto music is played with marimbula, bongo, timba, maracas, claves, guacharaca, a lead voice or primo, a second voice and backing vocals.
The group Sexteto Tabalá has played in many festival internationally and now is touring in support of their new CD recorded AT KONCERHUSET by DANISH RADIO COPENHAGEN as WOMEX 2010 OFFICIAL SELECTION ARTIST.
