Batacumbele - Yoruba language meaning "to kneel before the drum" was
founded in 1980 in San Juan, Puerto Rico by Master percussionist Angel
"Cachete" Maldonado. Batacumbele is one of the leading Afro Caribbean
ensembles in the world. Known as a progressively innovative ensemble that
respects tradition, Batacumbele excites audiences by fusing genres such
as Afro Cuban salsa & jazz with African and Caribbean (Puerto Rican)
folkloric polyrhythms. The combination of world-class virtuoso
musicians and superb vocalists along with great compositions and
arrangements result in a unique package that has garnered a cult following
in Japan, Europe, South America, the greater Antilles & Caribbean and the
United States.
The ensemble reunites for an exclusive appearance in the Midwest as a 12
piece All-Star unit with original members including Giovanni Hidalgo. RMM
Records recording artist, vocalist & trumpeter Jerry Medina joins the
group leading the dance oriented songs with his electric vocals.
