Did Rabbi Pordominsky imagine, hundreds of years ago, celebrating at his daughter Esther's wedding party, that the music being played at that moment by the band from his village, near Vilnius, one day it would blend with the rhythms of a distant Caribbean Sea, where the sun shines in a way unimaginable to her fellow countrymen? Did Mrs. Petronila manage to think, as she filled her house with flowers a few years ago in her native Palenque de San Basilio, that the songs of his homeland would resound in distant France, And were they going to mix with rhythms from other cultures? That's how small the world is today, where every rhythm that was once considered local, confined to a specific area of the planet, It is already an immediate part of the world's soundtrack. Musical art is now adaptable in small and large audiovisual laboratories around the world. and belong to the one who listens to it and who experiences it at that moment.
In Paris, a French musician enamored with the original rhythms of the Colombian Atlantic coast, a Chilean singer who comes from digital reggae, and a Colombian woman with a very distinctive voice come together and create The Dynamite, a project that invents 21st-century cumbia, A flavorful soup where the contents of the pot are seasoned with hip hop, klezmer music, and some of the psychedelic sounds of the Peruvian jungle. They sing in Spanish, French, and an English in the style of Jamaican patois. They tell stories that blend American and European experiences as if there weren't a great ocean in between.
His album, Urban cumbia, It contains 4 very fun themes that can to liven up any celebration anywhere in the world. It's music made to be enjoyed in any corner of the planet, where you simply take out the stereo, put a couple of bottles of liquor on the ground and the party starts. These are songs that any human being without deep prejudices and with a desire to smile all night can understand. That apparent simplicity, where we also find varied elements ready to make us dance, is what makes La Dinamitaaa's work interesting. Here, what they call "world music" really works.
