Chontadelia (Band)
Biography:
A seven-piece band from Colombia rooted in the iconic marimba de chonta and the Pacific coast’s Afro-Colombian culture, identity, and history, Chontadelia’s outspoken, marimba-driven funk gives voice to its communities’ histories, stories, struggles, and concerns: “The capacity to enjoy, to have a good time, is not separate from what is happening to you, your country, your community. Stand up, talk about the issues, dance.”
What’s in a name? Chontadelia comes from the fusion of two words; chonta—the wood that the marimba is made of, and delia—psychedelic sounds.
