Over the past decade, the Pacific Northwest has steadily blossomed into a stateside haven for fresh, alternative sounds from Latin America. In Portland, parties such as Gran Ritmos and Tropidahl transformed nightlife by celebrating diasporic hybrids of cumbia, dembow, and bhangra. Meanwhile, in Seattle, the psych and punk bedlam of Freakout Fest rejuvenated its avant curation with continent-spanning talent ranging from rising acts like Margaritas Podridas and Los Esplifs to bonafide legends including Os Mutantes and Los Dugs Dugs.

On “Tierra,” one of the most arresting moments of Bomba Estereo’s new album Deja, vocalist Li Saumet offers a bleak list of crimes against the planet: “They took away the sea, sky, and wind,” she sings. “They took the wind from us, they burned the jungle, they sold the lands, they put out the sun.” But then she reassures us that they have not taken away our dreams since we can write history from now on. “Tierra” is also a catchy track with an irresistible beat.

“Se Acabó,” a new track from the impressively flexible Colombian group Bomba Estéreo, opens with a walloping kick drum, the stuff of crushing house music and turbocharged disco. But that four-on-the-floor beginning is a feint of sorts, a trick to command your attention. Soon the punishing kick fades out, making way for intricate, rolling percussion — a soft tumble on a drum set, a hissing hi-hat — plus a melodic, expressive bass line. Lido Pimienta and Afro Cuban duo Okan join Bomba Estéreo’s lead singer Liliana “Li” Saumet on the vocals,...

The upcoming album’s title track is a crunching, chirping highlight among the three new tunes, pushing towards the dance floor with a throbbing bass line, a four-on-the-floor kick drum, and a slicing guitar that seems to bound ahead of the percussion.

The producer Ricky Reed is joined by My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and the rising singer Duendita on the regretful ballad “Us (How Sweet It Was).” While the plaintive keyboard and yearning lines from James — “If I had only known how long I wouldn’t see you” — reach back to gifted Seventies balladeers like Todd Rundgren, the smears of autotune and click-pop drum programming ground this song in the present. Duendita adds her own handsomely multi-tracked vocals, quietly commanding the second half of the song.

Each month, the editors and critics at Rolling Stone compile a list of must-hear new albums. Our picks for April include Fiona Apple’s finest album, the Strokes’ weirdly chill comeback and Rina Sawayama’s nu-metal-loving pop breakthrough.

After months of buzz and colorful, evocative singles unspooling diasporic disillusionment and the burdens of womanhood, Polaris Prize-winning artist Lido Pimienta has finally unleashed her long-awaited third full-length, Miss Colombia. Describing the album as a series of cynical love letters to her native Colombia, the Toronto-based singer-songwriter contrasts her somber emotions with resonant steel drums, fluttering woodwinds and electro-infused rhythms drawing from reggaeton, cumbia and porro, a Colombian folk genre from the Caribbean coast.
The album’s title poignantly refers to the infamous 2016 Miss Universe debacle where host Steve Harvey...

Colombian artist Lido Pimienta invites her fellow countrywoman, Bomba Estéreo vocalist Li Saumet, to reflect on both the power and strain of motherhood in their new single, “Nada.” It’s the third single off Pimienta’s upcoming album, Miss Colombia, out April 17th on Anti.
Both commanding, trailblazing musicians in their own right, the two are also mothers of young children. They meld their minds, and in the new video, braids, to create a lush cumbia meditation on the personal toll of raising a family. “If tomorrow is the day...

In the striking new video, which she co-directed with Paz Ramirez, Pimienta is joined by Colombian dance Grupo Kumbe in the town of San Basilio de Palenque: the first “free town,” or refuge for those who fled slavery,...
