Daily Discovery: Combo Chimbita – Oya

Combo Chimbitaa New York-based Latinx quartet of Colombian origin, just released a new single from their upcoming album IRE, out in January 2022 via ANTI-.

As Carolina Oliveros, the lead singer of the ‘Tropicalfuturist’ band, explained, “Oya is a very powerful feminine deity, goddess of storms and winds, guardian of cemeteries, and an entangled duel between calm and despair. This song animates that reminder of a nuanced life where many of us share a calm external facade, while facing an internal whirlwind of uncertainty. It’s the meditative sigh that precedes moving forward toward our desires and dreams with conviction.“
