Smithsonian Folkways Releases Grupo Cimarron's Full-throttle Cimarron! Joropo Music From The Plains Of Colombia' July 26
New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Smithsonian Folkways will release the internationally acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated Colombian ensemble Grupo Cimarron's 'Cimarron! Joropo Music From The Plains Of Colombia' on July 26 - the group's second release for the label. The ensemble is known for their explosive musica llanera (plains music) and fast-paced, triple-meter joropo, some of the most exciting music of Latin America. Through their powerful, moody, and unbridled sound, they live up to the meaning of their name Cimarron-"wild bull."

"Absolutely brilliant" - Lucy Duran, BBC

Since creating Grupo Cimarron in 1986, leader and harpist Carlos Rojas has looked both backward and forward in time. The musica llanera and joropo musics have roots in 19th century Colombia and the style of singing, playing and instruments used have been carefully modeled on tradition. The ensemble has created a new mix by emphasizing rhythm and creativity and insisting that joropo dance be a part of the performance wherever possible. Grupo Cimarron has performed in China, Europe, and North and South America.

Harp, guitars (bandola and cuatro), maracas, wooden drum (cajon), and the rhythm of the dancers' feet are the instruments used by the high-energy ensemble, all of whom carry strong ties to the cattle country of the Colombian plains. Each band member is a virtuoso in his or her own discipline, and the album provides a medium for both collective and individual expression.

The group's 2004 Smithsonian Folkways release 'Si, Soy Llanero' earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Traditional World Album
