Between school, music gigs and work, I have found it to be a bit difficult to stay on top of my blogging. And Cumbia in general, which was the music that brought me to this position, really went on the back-burner. But today thankfully Cybernetiko hit me up and shared his Nu Cumbia mixtape with his unique chill downtempo electro Cumbia style. Because once I received the email notification that he uploaded it, which happened shortly before he tagged me on Facebook, I felt a craving inside of me that I haven’t felt for a long time now, and it was an intense craving; I craved Cumbia!
Sure enough his mixtape delivered my Cumbia fix. It’s such a great feeling knowing that I still love Nu Cumbia so much as well as being reminded about how unique and experimental the musical movement is.
Am I back? Yes! In full swing? It’s too soon to tell but one shouldn’t be surprised if one starts seeing more Cumbia productions coming from me soon. And one shouldn’t be surprised to see my curating Nu Cumbia to the world more often!
