‘Entre Sol Y Luz’ is a glorious follow-up to Bomba’s 2003 release ‘A Mi Me Gusta’ and their 2001 debut ‘lo que ¡bomba! te dá. Having spent considerable time in Cuba with guest musicians Neraldo Duran Torriente, Raul Gomez Tabera and Livan Morejon Quian, Bomba’s Mario Allende, Chris Andrew and Rubim de Toledo draw heavily on the rich and fertile musical climate there. This new album is a testament to that musical encounter, and reveals maturity from this Edmonton-based Latin band. Recorded live off the floor with very few overdubs, on this recording the band demonstrates sublime sophistication.

From the opening boisterous timba of Si, Canada to the beautiful danzon-style ballad Linda, to the fierce descarga of ¡Bulla!, to the folkloric Palo, Bomba maps the many styles and expressions possible
within this music and gives them a fresh treatment. All tunes are stunning examples of Andrew's stellar writing and the passionate musicianship.

Rich in tradition yet brimming with invention, this new album showcases one of the most thrilling Canadian contemporary music amalgams existing today. Bomba chronicle this musical journey with aplomb. Entre Sol y Luz represents the realization of a unique musical vision.
