Baracutanga is an African voicing that means “people dancing”. Baragutanga is also a seven-piece band representing four different countries (Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, USA) that prides itself on arranging traditional South American rhythms, such as huayño and cumbia in new and interesting ways. Middle-Eastern darbuka or the Afro-Cuban bata and Afro-Peruvian festejo mix with Andean zampoñas, among countless other rhythmic combinations. This kind of experimentation, coupled with blending ancestral traditions with a modern sensibility - and a lyrically keen and passionate social consciousness - has resulted in an exciting and distinct Latin flavor all its own that leaves dancing crowds always wanting more.
