Bomba Estéreo started in the underground electronic scene of Bogota, Colombia, and, after adding fierce singer Liliana Saumet to join the group, the band expanded its sound and captivating live show. The band plays an explosive dance-fusion of electronic dub and hip-hop, in a similar vein as M.I.A. and Santigold, mixed with Colombian rhythms like cumbia and champeta. MTV Tr3s launched Bomba Estereo as their “Discover and Download” featured artist for the entire month of August 2009, adding the “Fuego” video into heavy rotation. Opening for Bomba was King Chango, one of the original bilingual Latin ska-fusion groups from the 90’s and now performing live, stronger than ever. His music combines dancehall chants, deep space dub, straight up skanking and Latin rhythms, creating some of contemporary music's most intense dance music.
