***Cultural icons of Colombia, Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto are a Latin Grammy-winning group who transmit the roots of cumbia, puya, porro, gaita, and bullerengue music. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto masterfully blends the rich heritage of pre-colonial Colombian instruments, rhythms, and melodies with contemporary perspectives, creating a sound that bridges tradition to the modernity of cumbia and tropicalismo.Their new record, Orgullo Colombiano, released on July 12, 2024, showcases a dynamic range of storytelling, spanning from devotional love songs to reflections on fading traditions amid rapid modernization, and the violent social/political conflict that have marred Colombia.At its core, Orgullo Colombiano is a celebration of cumbia and Colombian music, its an excavation of the past with feet firmly planted in the present preserving the legacy of iconic musicians like Toño Fernandez and Andres Landero, both of whom are from San Jacinto. In an era where cumbia is gaining greater popularity and hybridization, Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto remain the roots that allowed this musical tradition to flourish.
