BOMBASTA SPARKS ANOTHER UPRISING AT RUTA MAYA ON THE RIVERWALK
SATURDAY, JUNE 24th
The innovative and rebellious sounds of Bombasta will be returning to the stage at Ruta Maya on the Riverwalk in San Antonio on Saturday, June 24th. Bombasta helped open the venue during Ruta Maya's Grand Opening in May and is now set to return with their cultural hybrid mix of music. In their efforts to continue building a network of quality musicians and collaborators, Bombasta has asked the emerging musical group, Amenaza del Sur, to join them for an evening of music, culture and positive vibrations.
Bombasta mixes styles and instrumentations as effortlessly as their lyrics travel between Spanish and English. They have forged a new musical path by taking their various influences (Reggae, Cumbia, Hip Hop and Latino Funk) and have created a new sound somewhere between 'frontera rock' and 'new urban Latino.' This seven-piece musical co-op brandishes a full horn section, accordion, samples, turntables, guitar and lots of rhythm. With a strong mix of Spanglish politics and roots passion, Bombasta tackles various lyrical topics with sincerity and perspective, flowing effortlessly between syncopated rhymes and melodic anthems.
