Pambelé weaves sparkling threads of 60’s psychedelia into a tapestry of Afro-Colombian influence, creating a distinctive sound in a transatlantic and definitively Caribbean cultural panorama. Uplifting voices soar over tambor alegre (traditional Colombian drum) as synths cut shapes and waves of electric guitar and saxophone crash upon Colombia’s northern coastline in wild, torrid celebration.
Pambelé embarks on a captivating sonic journey, exploring 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.
