‘Cumbia was a means of liberation’ - An Interview with Sonora Dinamita

Sonora Dinamita is a Colombian cumbia group, and one of the first of its kind to become internationally popular, introducing the genre to the world stage. The band released its biggest hits from 1985-95, which was when the group was catapulted to a global level with hits such as Escandalo, Mi Cucu and Que Nadie Sepa Mi Sufrir.

The group was originally formed in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, by musical director Lucho Argain in 1960. So far, they have had more than 700 releases, of which more than one hundred have reached Top Ten lists around the world. Next year, on the 22nd of March, Sonora Dinamita will celebrate sixty years since its creation.

The band comes to London for the first time on the 15th of September to perform their most celebrated songs, with exciting guest performances. Carlos Alvarez, the band’s manager and lead singer, discusses the band’s history, the joy of cumbia, and what it can learn from the popularity of reggaeton.

    My sister has always compared love to a delicate piece of china that should be handled with extreme care. You may get away with tossing it around, breaking it in two and mending it. Should you act with carelessness, however, the china will splinter into a thousand pieces, and putting it back together could be out of the question.

    The analogy serves well when describing the sad fate of La Sonora Dinamita, a Colombian band that has, in the last decade, fragmented into so many different units that even those familiar with its history are unable to give a fair account of how many versions of the group are currently in existence. Rumor has it, for example, that 20 different incarnations of the venerable band are presently working the Los Angeles area alone. One local promoter is said to have kept a stable of singers and musicians at a downtown hotel, booked Dinamita at two separate venues on the same evening, then shipped two groups of performers to their respective engagements.
