Darlina Sáenz with Akolá Tambó
Jamboree, WC1X 9HH , [Venue Details]Traditional Bullerengue singer Darlina Sáenz leads a hypnotic night of drum-fuelled Afro-Colombian music and dance with Akolá Tambó!
With the combination of guttural earthy vocals, syncopated hand drums and improvisatory dance, the evening spotlights one of Colombia’s lesser-known artistic exports, which largely remains as an oral tradition to this day.
Darlina Sáenz is a Colombian traditional Bullerengue singer (cantadora) from Necoclí, Antioquia, Colombia’s Caribbean coast. As one of Colombia’s great Bullerengue masters, Darlina is widely regarded as an iconic bearer of this Afro-Colombian tradition, a genre historically transmitted orally and closely tied to community rituals, women’s storytelling, and percussion-led singing. Sáenz has been active for decades in regional festivals and cultural initiatives preserving Afro-Colombian music, and she has led or collaborated with ensembles dedicated to traditional repertoire. Her artistic career has been recognised with awards for best original song, best group, best singer, best voice, and best vocal style at various bullerengue festivals both in Colombia and abroad.
London-based Akolá Tambó shares the ancestral rhythms of Bullerengue, a drum-fueled Afro-Colombian music and dance tradition born from resistance.
