Cumbia

Episode 7

Friday, August 26, 2022 • Duration 29:41

The band La Diabla combines traditional Cumbia music with the gritty spirit of Tijuana. They bring their bi-national dance party wherever they go. We also speak to a group that embodies the spirit of our diverse border region, and celebrates the beauty of Baja California with their own take on Latin America’s resurging dance music- Cumbia. Sonido de la Frontera is made up of a power trio of veteran musicians Karlos Paez of the B-Side Players, Luke Henshaw of Planet B and First Power Crew, and DJ Unite with Tribe of Kings and First Power Crew. They each bring decades of experience to the project, and the results are an exciting Cumbia sound that fuses the party energy of soundsystem culture, with the Hip Hop production aesthetic of big drums and loud bass.

And the high energy folk band Finnegan Blue blends rock, bluegrass, Celtic music, and New Orleans second line jazz for a truly unique sound. Headed by brother and sister musicians Anna Lee and Willie Fleming, Finnegan Blue combines strong vocals and driving rhythms that make for exciting live performances. And while some of their songs sound like they’ve been passed down through the ages, their music is all original. Credits: Produced and hosted by Kurt Kohnen, Jade Hindmon, and Alison St John.
