From Colombia to the Capital
24 July 2014 2:19 AM IST
This Colombian musical revelation brings together two of the most traditional instruments of Colombia, the marimba from South's Pacific coast and percussions from the North.
The sound created by both the instruments are an exquisite blend of music which has come to represent the Colombian rhythm.
Carlos Balanta, artistically known as Batermiba, has created his own unique musical ensemble combining traditional marimba with drums, bells, cymbals and a pair of congas.
And as if this wasn't enough, he spices up his performances with his vocals.
A trained percussionist from Santander de Quihchao (Cauca), Carlos Balanta, started his musical journey early at the age of 12.
Since the very beginning Balanta has experimented with mixing traditional rhythms with newer musical beats keeping intact the soul of his music that is essentially Colombian.
The show promises to be a revelation for music lovers in Delhi opening the doors to some great sounds and rythmns as Baterimba takes over the Capital next month. Mark the date and head over.
