about

“Simon Mejia from Bomba Estereo, bring a new great Ep with his project Monte, remixing the music of Dinastia Torres, the kings of currulao from Guapi Cauca, pacific coast of Colombia. Dinastia Torres recorded the album Los Duendes de la Marimba with Palenque Records, released in 2019. Mejia does his own version, with the greatest style of this great producer.

Simon Mejia del grupo Bomba Estereo, esta vez nos trae este nuevo EP con su proyecto MONTE. El Duende es un viaje musical por el pacifico colombiano de la mano de la Dinastia Torres, leyendas de la marimba de chonta desde Guapi, Cauca. Este vez Monte remixea a los Torres, creando versiones electro y versiones libres a partir del ritmo madre del pacifico sur, el Currulao y la increible musica de la marimba de Chonta.”

El Duende" traces the history of the marimba instrument on Colombia's Pacific Coast. The instrument is built, instructed and played in the jungle. The film looks at the myth of the duende, a mysterious being somewhere between an elf and a demon, who teaches locals how to assemble the marimba and play it.

"El Duende" explores the story of the Dinastia Torres, a family dynasty of marimba players with ancestral roots in Africa, who are among the last bearers of the jungle legend. The soundtrack EP is comprised of 4 new Monte remixes from the Dinastia Torres album 'Los Duendes De La Marimba' which was originally released in 2020.

"El Duende" is the second release in a film series presented by Bomba Estereo. The documentary "Sonic Forest" was released in 2020 in collaboration with the environmental organization Stand for Trees. "Sonic Forest" features Simon's journey from Afro-Colombian communities on the Pacific coast to indigenous communities in the mountains to learn about the forest communities who have united to protect the vast rainforest that connects them, while raising awareness for climate change and biodiversity. The documentary's soundtrack includes the single "Dejame Respirar" featuring the singer Nidia Gongora.

Monte is an ambient electronic project in which Simon furthers his exploration of Colombian nature sounds. Following extensive travel and research, Simón worked to interpret nature sounds into an electronic music language. On the 2020 album 'Mirla,' he explored which animals sound like a high hat, which ones sound like bass drums and which ones sing the melodies. The New Yorker wrote, "Mejía weaves recordings of trickling rivers and choirs of birds into soft charanga melodies and careful synths.... his focus is on the discreet tension and melody that live in the natural world."

During the first UK lockdown in 2020, this album took me all the way to the Peruvian Amazon. This album's a great introduction to one of the main players of psychedelic cumbia, Amazon style. Each track's full of sunshine j j headington
