Venue: Sunset Bar, Famara, Lanzarote
Date: Saturday 1st February 2014
Details: Guacamayo Tropical (Colombia/Madrid) will be playing live in Lanzarote for 2 nights with Mr Paradise.
“Guacamayo Tropical are two Colombians who came together to play music since two years ago, sharing the latin flavour around Spain. They are an audiovisual collective which focuses on rescuing and spreading the tradition of tropical and Latin-American music, but also on merging them with new rhythms and new trends. Its sessions are characterized by the integration of organic musical instruments such as Colombian gaita, tamboras and djembe, and even typical and native dances mixed up with digital beats. Guacamayo Tropical brings sounds and images from beyond a little closer to make up for these lightless, colorless and tasteless times. They bring hearty, lively rhythms and flood the dance floor with a colorful tide made of love, joy and Cumbia! Its project will surprise everyone because it is composed by multiformed and multicolored elements. Inspired by earthly ancestral trips, they show us a road, an idea and a project aimed at attacking all fronts of the senses, shooting sounds violently full of good vibes, light and hope.”
