Hear a live mini-concert performed by Combo Chimbita

It’s a mini-concert from Combo Chimbita, captured during their live performance at World Cafe Live earlier this April. Combo Chimbita is a quartet of first-generation New Yorkers whose backgrounds are Colombian and who grew up loving heavy metal, psychedelic funk and soul. Their latest album, Iré, was released in January and features a rhythmic foundation rooted in Afro-Caribbean transcendence, bewildering chants, booming drums and psychedelic distortion. Led by Carolina Oliveros, the band put on a fantastic show — and we’re thrilled to share it with you today.
