Cool Article on CC about Nueve Cumbia, or as they refer to it Cumbia Digitale

I posted last week that Bomba Estereo was playing in town. Oh man what a great show. Those of you who didn’t go (surprise, that was all of you) totally missed out. Before they started the Doug Fir was fairly empty, just people sitting around the outside. But as soon as they got done with their intro song, the whole dance floor filled up. There must have been Colombians crawling out from between the log cabin walls, because everybody was having a great time and most people were speaking Spanish. But the rhythms were super danceable, the signer was adorable and full or energy and the band had a great modern electro rock sound on top of their cumbia roots. I’m gald the default portland crowd didn’t show up, cus they would have made it suck with bad outfits, head bobbing/bad dancing and mean mugging.
