Huracán de Fuego
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The group of the Venezuelan Caribbean, Huracán de Fuego, arrived with the only aim to sing and to dance the drum. A drum, or better, drums taken from the area of Maracaibo by black enslaved, coming from which today is Angola, the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Where in many of those places the tradition of the drums is lost, a group of young people recovers them. They are chimbangueles and the cumacos, great drums that are touched fallen down, seating the musician on its wood body and using the heel of the foot against the patch in search of the correct refining. Huracán de Fuego, presented its first compact disc: “Vamos a darle”, with only percussions and voices. Voices with the typical sound of the Caribbean, with songs like: “Bomba que bomba”, “La encubridora”, “Rebelión” and “El negro primero”.
