WoodSongs 1038: Chontadelia and Sultans of String
CHONTADELIA is a 7-piece band rooted in the iconic marimba de chonta style and steeped with Afro-Colombian culture, identity, and history. Originally from Bogota, Colombia, they arrive on the scene with a soundscape full of color, distortions, twists, and a lot of funk. From dancing the night away to shedding light on issues happening to their communities, CHANTADELIA leaves no one indifferent.
SULTANS OF STRING have thrilled listeners with their genre-hopping fusion of folk, flamenco, Django-jazz, Arabic, Cuban and South Asian rhythms over the last dozen years and eight albums. Hailing from Canada, their music made the New York Times Hit List, and #1 on !earshot International/World radio charts, earning three JUNO nominations and three Canadian Folk Music Awards out of eight nominations. Their most recent album is SANCTUARY.
WoodSongs Kid: Tierra Raiti is 16 years old and lives in Asheville, NC. Tierra was a featured singer and player on an album she cut when she was 14 years old, Galax to Toledo Tracks. Recordings from this album have been played in bluegrass and Americana radio shows around the world. Soraya Sullivan (guitar, age 16) and Luciya Sullivan (banjo, age 14) hail from Evanston, Illinois. The Sullivan Sisters have dazzled audiences since childhood with their unique blend of sister harmonies and fast bluegrass picking.
