02: Dímelo (Busy Twist Remix) [feat. Tres] - Combo Chimbita

-Combo Chimbita formed in 2016 as a loose combination of friends and bandmates, many of whom had played together in other groups, all of whom were products of the Colombian diaspora who ended up as first generation New Yorkers making their way in the city's fertile music scene

-Dímelo marks the group's first release on Wonderwheel Recordings and in many ways marks a return to the band's roots, as well as a hint of what's to come

-The track was recorded in late 2023 alongside their last single "Margarita" with Victor Axelrod aka Ticklah (Antibalas, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings)

-Busy Twist is one of the leading artists of the new global dance underground with his sophisticated fusion of Afro, Latin and UK bass

-Busy Twist has worked with artists like Bomba Estereo, Alewya, Kevin Flores to name a few, and released music on labels like Soundway, Sony Colombia, Because London, and Jamz Supernova's Future Bounce

-They have released music on iconic and cult-favorite labels such as Anti- Records, Names You Can Trust and Figure & Ground

“carolina oliveros has the most magnetic, gorgeous, magical voice”
NPR Alt Latino —

“the track’s bouncy groove is among the most effervescent and delightful in the band’s recent repertoire”
Remezcla —

“what they intentionally try to do is represent what is an incredible diversity of indigenous sounds that are moving and shaping the rhythms of Colombia. they are one of those bands that are taking those sounds and putting them front and center.”
KCRW —

““Dímelo” is a dreamy and mediative bit of Larry Levan era-like cumbia featuring a glistening cumbia-influenced rhythm guitar, jazz-influenced hi-hat driven drumming and a strutting bass line, shimmering synth arpeggio bursts and a remarkably catchy hook seemingly guided by Oliveros’ hypnotic wailing.”
