La Cumbiamba eNeYe

The powerfully rhythmic and melodic Afro-Indigenous-Colombian music of La Cumbiamba NY recreates the traditional open-air Cumbia gatherings known as cumbiambas, the ensemble’s namesake. With traditional instruments such as the indigenous Gaita flutes and the Afro-Colombian drums the group, led by multi-instrumentalist, composer and educator Martin Vejarano, has established itself as one of the finest Cumbia ensembles in the US.

La Cumbiamba performs Gaita Music with its traditional instruments ensemble: Gaitas Y Tambores.

Gaita music was born as a result of the cultural syncretism that took place in the Colombian territory during the years of the Spanish Colony. Musical director Martin Vejarano says “the band’s music features traditional sounds with a contemporary approach, all present in the band’s original repertoire”. Gaita music has a festive and danceable spirit.

La Cumbiamba eNeYe´ has thrilled audiences with recent performances at venues such as Lincoln Center Out of Doors, Central Park SummerStage, Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, Symphony Space and Riverside Church in New York.

The Untermyer Performing Arts Council’s

Recognition of the Contributions of Indigenous Peoples.

We thank the indigenous peoples, caretakers of Mother Earth for many millennia, realizing and respecting her gifts of water, fire and air. This relationship is based on their profound spiritual connection to Mother Earth, the connection that guided their ancestors to practice reverence, humility and reciprocity.

Everything taken is used with the understanding only what is needed is taken. What is taken is watchfully used, aware of the amount taken and the method with which it is taken, to ensure future generations are not put in peril

We gratefully acknowledge the Native peoples on whose ancestral homelands we present our .performances, as well as the Native Communities who make their home in the Yonkers area today.

By caring for Mother Earth, you care for all of us.
