Chuchumbé- From the National Theater of Cuba, to the Central Plaza of La Paz, Bolivia, to the Cabrillo Music Festival of Santa Cruz, Chuchumbé has been active performing their unique blend of Latin American music for the past 9 years. Beginning in 1999, they have expanded their group, adding drum set and bass, to give their music a more danceable sound. Mixing Andean flutes, Caribbean rhythms, funky baselines with lush harmonies in English and Spanish, they believe there is no sound quite like theirs!! In March 2000, they released their third recording, entitled "Chuchumbé" a lively mix of originals and traditionals.
