This week we went roaming the streets of London looking for the Cimarron of London. In the times of slavery, some slaves decided to take their freedom and fled from the plantations.
They ran away, away from their master who would kill them if ever found. They ran away as far as they could to the most inextricable jungles or the highest peaks.
These people were called the Cimarrons in Latin America ‘the run away’. In the countries conquered by England they were called Maroon and by France Zesclaves Marrons or Neg’ Marrons.
This week the festival of the same name presented the African face of the sub-continent to London and made a big place for Colombia which has a very rich history worth discovering.
We listened to some great Cumbia band’s Koguiwa, Angelica y la Papayera and wanted to share some songs with you.
The first song is la Tracionera from Pastor Lopez and the second la Piragua from Grabriel Romero.
Enjoy!
If you asks us who is the king of Colombian salsa, we will say without a doubt Joe Aroyo, because the sounds you will find in his music are very varied, have a very Caribbean feel to them and a taste of Africa.
We love this man from Cartagena and would love to see him in London one day.
For the moment be sure to hear some songs from Joe Aroyo on Saturday 13th June.
