about

In the midst of political uprisings all over the world, Ghetto Kumbé release their first single ‘Vamo a Dale Duro’ as a sonic protest of the injustices caused by class divide.

Ghetto Kumbé bring political content to an Afro-futurist mixture of sounds that spread between Latin America, Africa, and Europe. The track’s hard-hitting yet light-hearted beat is highlighted by an ominous toll, signaling a call to the people to defend their rights and land. The gaita, a traditional instrument originally played by the indigenous people of Colombia’s Caribbean coast, provides a smooth, melodic background layer to lyrics of resistance and African-influenced drum breaks. Oliver Williams aka The Busy Twist (UK) adds his own touch as co-producer of this track and those to come on the upcoming album on ZZK Records.

The lyrics (listed below) are explicit in meaning yet maintain a message that resonates strongly throughout the entire world. ‘Vamo a Dale Duro’ criticizes the unjust divide between the poor and the rich, the rising prominence of dirty politicians, and the ethics of the capitalist system while encouraging people to stand up and fight for a dignified existence.

lyrics

Coro:

Vamo’ a dale duro duro
A dale duro duro 
X4

Guajiro:

Yo si se de donde viene
Hablas de lo que no tienes
Con tu labia lo entretienes
Con mentiras los envuelves
Siempre ganan y ellos pierden

Chongo:

Trasnocho sin parar, con la justicia el maltrato
Tu supuesto trato, solo dolor nos trajo
Con los que vienen de allá de abajo
Con los que mueren en muchos casos, destruyen sin parar
Donde vivo el sueño, donde aclaro todo, por mi chamaco
Donde vivo yo, yo quiero crecer, tengo ya familia, 
Yo quiero una vida porque otra no hay, porque otra no hay

Coro:

Vamo a dale duro duro
A dale duro duro 
X4

Guajiro:

Somos la raza
El indio que no descansa
Defendemos la casa
Si es pa’lante es pa’alla
Vendía esta la zona
La nube gris se asoma
El llanto vuelve ahora
Y nadie sabe na’ de na’

Chongo:

Va cambiando la cara de apoco
Por la mama paso un barrejobo 
Va sacando vendiendo de todo 
La esperanza la echaron a bala
Y to’ se lo pasan por la faja
Y tienen a mi gente cegada

Coro:

Vamo a dale duro duro
A dale duro duro 
X8
