The formation, now based in Marseille, was formed in Bogot\u00e1 in 2018 and draws on the similarities between South American and Central African music: among other things, danceability, generous use of the clave and a sense of trance. Nkumba, which means &#8220;navel\" in Bantu, hints at a possible African origin of the words cumbia and rumba.<\/p>\n<p>Led by guitarist Guillo Cros, the band consists of musicians from Colombia, Cameroon and Cuba: Cindy Pooch on vocals, Jhon Socha on bass, Simba Daniel Evousa on guitar and Yoandy San Mart\u00edn on drums. After releasing their debut album in 2020, they are coming to delight us with a live explosive cocktail of highlife, rumba, cumbia, curralao and Guaracha. This creates an energetic mix of styles that is bound to lead to musical fireworks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-541197 kc-title-wrap \">\n\n\t<h3 class=\"kc_title\">Where?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-28895 kc_text_block\"><p>\nOosterpark World Stage<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-183930 kc-fancy-button-wrap\">\n\t<div class=\"kc-fancy-button-inner  light-scheme-el\" data-parallax='{\"y\": 0}'>\n\t\t<a class=\"kc-btn line-link\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/8p1uduh3PTMHB93H6\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"View on Google Maps\">\n\t\t\tView on Google Maps\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-621373 kc_col-sm-4 kc_column kc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-631799 kc-parallax-el \"><div class=\"kc-parallax-wrap\" data-parallax='{\"y\": 0}' ><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-29703 kc_shortcode kc_single_image\">\n\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamroots.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/nkumbasystem.jpg\" class=\"\" alt=\"\" \/>    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Cameroon to Colombia in an express train ride<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1950,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"class_list":["post-2722","meloo_events","type-meloo_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","meloo_event_type-past-events-en","meloo_events_cats-oosterpark-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
