Actually based in Bogotá, on their first CD "LA MANIGUA" the group introduces us to their "Son Funktuno".
Twelve songs tell us about Colombia, the music and the people and above all, the personal universe of Victor Aguilar -composer of nearly the whole repertoire - about his loves, his disillusions and his hopes and his colourful music project in cooperation with the inestimable involvement of Johanny Garnica, partner in the final treatment of all songs as well as the arrangements.
Devotees of Scofield and other high lights of the funk, they are, without any doubt, deeply rooted thanks to the three percussion instruments: alegre, llamador and tambora (the base of the Cumbia) but without giving up to be modern and unite Africa with America in their way.
Cumbia, Son Palenque, Champeta, Bullerengue, Chalupa, Bambuco, Songo, Berroche, Pitá Pitá, Sambapalo, Chandé, Afrobeat and Rumba form the SON FUNKTUNO of La Manigua to drive us crazy.
