Named after CHIA, the Moon goddess in the Pre-Columbian MUISCA Mithology,
CHIA's Dance Party delivers a unique musical experience where infectious danceable grooves
mix harmoniously with extensive compositional and improvisational work.
"Martin Vejarano, leader of La Cumbiamba NY, has concocted a new project based on the sounds of traditional Colombian marching bands, but with enough of urban bastardazition and personal idiosyncracies to please a squadron of ethnomusicologists. The music is fun, driven and adventurous. It's very deeply rooted in Colombian music but not quaint, folkloric or exotic in anyway" Olivier Conan, Barbès Records
