Ghetto Kumbé is the meeting in Bogotá of 3 great Colombian musicians from the Caribbean coast: Edgardo “Guajiro” Garcés, Andrés “DocKey” Mercado y Juan Carlos “Chongo” Puello. Before creating Ghetto Kumbé in 2015 the 3 musicians played for years on tour with bands like the legendary fusion band Sidestepper or the Salsa band La 33.
GK, combo of wizards’ singers and percussionists calling the public all around the world to join their digital rumba. Their transcendent ritual is made with a powerful base of percussions, Caribbean house beats and traditional afro Colombian rhythms inspired from west Africa.
Inspired by the different revolutionary movements emerging all over the world, Ghetto Kumbé will released their first full-length album co-produced by The Busy Twist, on
pioneering Latin American electronic label ZZK Records. Their self-titled debut is visceral, committed, and rebellious, denouncing through frantic rhythms the inequalities and abuses imposed by corrupt governments, while simultaneously enticing listeners to join in the fight. Dance mingles with awareness to create a global community, where family, friends, and strangers come together through our shared love of music and activate
change amongst themselves.
