The Colombian band Bomba Estéreo visited our studio a few weeks ago.
Three members of the band brought along their guitars and agreed to take one of their typical electro-cumbia tracks, and unplug it for for us.
The tune was Sintiendo.
It’s off their latest album Elegancia Tropical.
Guitarist Simón Mejía described Sintiendo as “a danceable ballad with sentimental lyrics.”
Here’s the original release of the song.
You can compare the original with the acoustic version they played for us in the studio.
