With the dust hardly settled on their team-up EP with Japan\u2019s Minyo Crusaders, Bogot\u00e1\u2019s Frente Cumbiero get back to NYCT, the Brooklyn label that put them on the map a decade ago with the sizzling single \u201cPichito\u201d, and to their primary function \u2013 pumping a shot of fresh life, a dash of dub, and a bit of psychedelic shimmer into the classic sounds of cumbia and similar styles from the country\u2019s Caribbean coast. Porro, for instance, on the brisk A-side \u201cPorrov\u00eda\u201d, which benefits from a tough brass hook that kind of recalls the one from \u201cTora Joe\u201d, off Minyo Cumbiero<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, mentioned above. Bandleader Mario Galeano\u2019s sneaky, snaking synth adds further flavour, and so does Sebasti\u00e1n Rozo\u2019s stout and sturdy bombardino (a smaller cousin of the tuba). The B-side, the vigorous \u201cEl M\u00e9todo De La Cera Perdido\u201d, is even busier \u2013 percussionist Pedro Ojeda certainly keeps himself occupied \u2013 but lighter in its touch, with a pleasing refrain and a nice glow overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
