Hailing from Bogotá, Colombia, Bomba Estéreo produces what they call psychedelic cumbia. Their music merges folk from the Colombian Caribbean coast (cumbia, bullerengue and champeta) and influences from electronica, reggae and hip-hop. The band, a musical project formed by Simón Mejía with singer Liliana Saumet in 2005, has recently released their second album, Blow Up, through Nacional Records in the U.S.A.
