Bomba Estéreo's photostream

Bomba Estéreo came together as a project organized by Simon Mejia in 2005, forming within the rich underground electronic scene that has become Bogota, Colombia. Recruiting fierce singer Liliana Saumet to join the group, Bomba Estéreo expanded its sound and captivating live show. The group plays an explosive dance-fusion of electronic dub and hip-hop, in a similar vein as M.I.A. and Santigold, mixed with Colombian rhythms like cumbia and champeta.

“Bomba Estereo... is turning plenty of heads with its song "Fuego," the exhilarating lead single from its debut album... playfully referring to both Colombia's burgeoning dance culture and traditional attire in the same breath.”
- BILLBOARD

“Bomba Estéreo is a funky underground talent revealing a genre-busting, linguistics-defying release with ‘Blow Up’...... Lead vocalist Liliana Saumet’s sultry style is a hybridization of Nelly Furtado with the precision and attitude of M.I.A.”
- URB

“Vocalist Li Saumet embodies both the modern and the traditional elements of the group: spitting rhymes like Mala Rodriguez and Zack de la Rocha one minute, singing with the nasal intonation of tropical singers likes of salsero Joe Arroyo the next.”
