Colombian band, Bomba Estereo, has been blowing up big and continuing to provide musical sunshine since we first heard them a few years back.  Their 2009 song Fuego was one of the Best Songs of 2010 (we’re a little slow).  Mixing traditional Latin/Caribbean rhythms with rock and reggae and other worthy world-music elements, they have always lifted us out of the foggy pit.

The band has continued to add complexity to their mix as is borne out on their fantastic new album Elegancia Tropical.   To get a feel, check out their performances below on KEXP while in Seattle earlier this month.  First up is the fantastically frenetic Bailar Conmigo (with its Nigerian juju-esque guitar), followed by more greatness.   This band can do no wrong.  If you like what you hear below, the full session, with interview segments, is at bottom.
