Combo Chimbita – Ahomale [LP]

Through her folkloric mystique, otherworldly psychedelia, and a dash of enigmatic punk, Ahomale by Combo Chimbita catapults the sacred knowledge of our forebears into the future. Their second studio album and Anti- Records debut sees the visionary quartet drawing from ancestral mythologies and musical enlightenment to unearth the awareness of Ahomale, the albums cosmic muse. Comprised of Carolina Oliveros mesmeric contralto, illuminating storytelling and fierce guacaracha rhythms, Prince of Queens hypnotic synth stabs and grooving bass lines, Nio Lentos imaginative guitar licks, and Dilemastronautas powerful drumming, the lure and lore of Combo Chimbita comes into existence. Rooted in Colombia and based in New York, Combo Chimbita lives in the future.
