One World, One Sound: Mama Tumba

The title of the band Mama Tumba is as eclectic as their sound itself. It means mother drum in the (X Dialect) and represents the bands mascot or unifying element. The drum represents the foundations of the group. Their sound can be described as Afro-Latin Rhythms. It’s tough to put a title on the group but easier to describe the layers and influences that shape their music. Salsa, Samba, Cumbia, African Tribalism, and Jazz elements can all be heard at any given point. The horns section creates a different dimension to the group’s music.

The complexities of their sound are perhaps a given when you consider the group features 8 members.
