Grupo Rebolu, Lemanjo & Mambe

Is an Afro-Colombian musical ensemble comprised of some of the finest Colombian

musicians in the united states. The group was created from the desire of Ronald Polo

(vocalist/composer/gaitero) and Morris Canate (master folkloric percussionist) to

promote the rich musical traditions of their ancestors; the afro-descendents of Colombia's

caribbean coast.

It is their belief that these folkloric traditions should continually evolve over time and

with the ideas of new generations of folklorists. This belief is surely reflected in their

music.

The original compositions of Ronald Polo forge new paths for Colombian music while

respectfully remaining faithful to its ancestral roots. In the process, they create a truly

unique musical and cultural experience.

From traditional songs to original compositions, the entirely of Rebolu' repertoire is

loaded with energy, history and danceability. Their unique reinterpretations of traditional

Afro-Colombian rhythms such as Gaita, Tambora, Chalupa and Bullerengue, among

others, make it extremely well suited not only for festivals and cultural events, but also

for nightclubs. We hope you listen and enjoy...
