WORKING on our new CD to be recorded in April 2013!.... How Exiting!!!!!

March 23rd is the date for our CONCERT at Flushing Town Hall.


Welcoming our new member Pablo Ruiz-Henao, an amazing BOMBARDINO (euphonium/baritone) Player from Colombia!


Named after CHIA, the Moon goddess in the Pre-Columbian MUISCA Mithology,
CHIA's Dance Party delivers a unique musical experience where infectious danceable grooves
mix harmoniously with extensive compositional and improvisational work.

"Martin Vejarano, leader of La Cumbiamba NY, has concocted a new project based on the sounds of traditional Colombian marching bands, but with enough of urban bastardazition and personal idiosyncracies to please a squadron of ethnomusicologists. The music is fun, driven and adventurous. It's very deeply rooted in Colombian music but not quaint, folkloric or exotic in anyway" Olivier Conan, Barbès Records
