“ESTO ES REAL (8100mg)”, LISTEN + WATCH NEW LYRIC VIDEO HERE

NEW ALBUM ‘AHOMALE’ COMING OUT MAY 3

NATIONAL HEADLINING TOUR BEGINS MAY 2

“The quartet, fronted by lead singer Carolina Oliveros, puts on a transcendent, incredibly fun show. Oliveros, energetic and unstoppable, alternately belts and chants, displaying a full range from priestess to hype woman.” — The Daily Beast

“From Bogotá to Brooklyn, this adventurous four-piece has mapped a tropical futurist’s dream of spacy electronics, new-wave cumbia and good old-fashioned garage rock.” - Relix

Based in New York City by way of Colombia, Combo Chimbita is a visionary quartet drawing inspiration from ancestral mythologies and musical enlightenment to unearth the awareness of Ahomale, their muse and the title of their upcoming sophomore album and first for ANTI- Records. With the help of producer Daniel Schlett (The War on Drugs, Modest Mouse), the group’s rootsy experimental alchemy and metal strangeness take centerfold. Listen to Ahomale’s second single “Esto Es Real (8100mg)” HERE.

Comprised of lead singer Carolina Oliveros’ mesmeric contralto, illuminating storytelling and fierce guacharaca rhythms, Prince of Queens’ hypnotic synth stabs and grooving bass lines, Niño Lento’s imaginative guitar licks, and Dilemastronauta’s powerful drumming, the lure and lore of Combo Chimbita comes into existence.

“Ahomale resurges from the visions that we’ve been having via our music and life, and the lyrics reflect a manifestation passed on through our ancestors and the gods,” Oliveros explains. “I wanted the album to convey the search for spiritual awareness, which ultimately serves as a revelation.”

Oliveros howls, yowls and chirps with gut-wrenching emotion. Whether rock raw and soulful or bewitching like a shaman in a spiritual ceremony, her voice is always a multifaceted wonder. Combo Chimbita will embark on a national headlining tour in support of the new album beginning on May 2 in New Haven, Connecticut. They will also bring the message of Ahomale to Austin, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago and their hometown of Brooklyn, New York, among other cities. All upcoming tour dates are listed below.
