“Cumbia, that’s when Indians and Africans dance together.” That’s how Totó la Momposina describes the music she’s lived with for six decades (interview in the latest issue of Lira). She is a twofold Latin Grammy-winner, with great respect and pride for the ancient musical traditions of Colombia – and at the same time frequently remixed by newer-time dance music producers. “when someone makes a composition and fifty years pass that music is part of the people, so now [my] music is property of the people because it’s now part of the people’s identity,” she says in a different interview. Don’t miss the chance to see Toto la Momposina live at Clandestino Festival on Saturday, June 8th! | More
