Pambelé

In their debut opus, Dámelo, Pambelé weaves sparkling threads of 60’s psychedelia into a tapestry of Afro-Colombian influence.

Cheerful vocals jubilate while the pulse of tambor alegre and the Farfisa organ cut shapes shoulder to shoulder, and waves of electric guitar and saxophone crash upon Colombia’s northern coastline in wild, torrid celebration.

Pambelé’s captivating sonic journey explores the intricate connections between “traditional” music of the Colombian Caribbean and Western psychedelic influences. Their music is a boundless playground drawing nourishment from the culture of trance, improvisation and dance.

Based in France, this ensemble is a fusion of talents from Colombia, France, New Zealand, Panama and Italy. Its members have collaborated with prominent artists such as the franco-caribbean David Walters, brazilian Joao Selva, avant-garde figures from the French Jazz scene in Bigre Big Band, Colombian maestras as Nidia Gongora and Petrona Martinez, and Latin American stars like Juan Luis Guerra, Luis Miguel, and Toto la Momposina. The Combo presents itself as a crucible of experiences, fearlessly bridging the gap between the indigenous and the global.

Pambelé’s first album imagines a transatlantic pilgrimage, departing from the rock and pop-steeped stations of Europe and arriving in the deep roots of Afro-Colombian culture from the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts.
