After four years of silence, Sonido Gallo Negro is back with Cumbia Ishtar! According to Pan African Music, it
is dedicated to Ishtar, the enigmatic Babylonian deity of fertility, love, war and sex, which guards the secret of the beginning of humanity and all music. It is inspired by a famous Mexican Cumbia “Cumbia Arabe” by composer Francisco Nicolás Bobadilla. The band then merged it with a rhythm close to the “Calypso”, synthesizers and choruses. This song illustrate the group’s ability to create a very particular hypnotic mambo, and their mixed influences from Latin America, Middle East and Africa.
Cumbia Ishtar opens the band's new album, Mambo Cosmico (out next month on Glitterbeat Records).
