The debut album of the band Pambelé, from Colombia's north coast, blends 1960s psychedelia with Afro-Colombian dance music. Regional percussion instruments like the tambor alegre and the sound of the Farfisa organ meet howling electric guitars and saxophones. The result is a wild celebration of the Caribbean zest for life.
