The featured album is from Colombia’s Bomba Estéreo, and Venezuela’s Rawayana who are playing together as ASTROPICAL
Published:

This week on Around the World with Davy Sims, we dive deep into the vibrant and evolving sounds of South America. The spotlight is on ASTROPICAL, a collaborative album from Colombian electro-cumbia legends Bomba Estéreo and Venezuelan genre-benders Rawayana—a fusion that’s as bold and colourful as the continent itself.

From the hypnotic grooves of Brazil and the raw soul of Peru and Ecuador to the rich rhythms of Africa—including sounds from Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, KwaZulu-Natal, Mali, Senegal, and Zimbabwe—this episode pulses with life.

But that’s not all. Davy takes us further still, with stirring music from Bosnia, Corsica, Finland, India, Ireland, Italy, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, and Spain.

Tune in for a musical passport stamped with rhythm, culture, and discovery. There are no borders here—just beats from all corners of the globe.
