Combo Chimbita unleash a primal roar of catharsis on their latest album channeling a burning spiritual awakening blazing through the world and in their hearts.

Often described as tropical futurists for their ambitious melange of ancestral musical traditions and innovative experimentation, their creative unity transcends common concepts of time and nationality.
