MIAMI – Sony Music/ Farándula magazine – Colombian stars Bomba Estéreo have announced their new album Ayo set for release on August 11th. New single “Duele” is available now at all digital music services. The “Duele” single release is accompanied by the official video directed by Sam Mason.

The song “Duele” is about the pain of heartbreak and overcoming it. While the music’s melody line recalls a Middle Eastern influence, it was recorded on a flauta de millo – the traditional woodwind instrument often played on classic cumbia recordings from the Caribbean coast of Colombia. The song was recorded in the Sierra Nevada mountain town of Minca, near Liliana‘s hometown of Santa Marta.
The flauta de millo has been one of the most inspiring instruments in our career,” says Bomba Estéreo founderSimon Mejia. “We’ve used it since our first album ‘Estalla.’ The sound is unique and beautiful with roots for the entire cumbia tradition. I remember once playing it for Brian Eno when I met him for a mentorship and he was like ‘oh my god, I’ve never heard that kind of sound before in my life!’
Bomba Estéreo has announced an extensive world tour alongside the release of “Duele.” The tour features headline theater shows in addition to major festival sets like Outside Lands and Bestival (UK).
The upcoming album release will be Bomba Estéreo‘s 5th studio album, following the breakthrough success of its latest album Amanecer, which was certified Latin Gold by the RIAA in the U.S. this week. The album brought the band numerous accolades including the hit singles “Fiesta (Remix Ft. Will Smith)” and the anthem “Soy Yo.”
The “Soy Yo” music video immediately went viral last fall, surpassing more than 22 million views. The clip resulted in first-time actress Sarai Gonzalez being invited to the White House to meet President Obama. Lin Manuel Miranda tweeted about the video, saying he watches it “every morning to give me strength. I love it so.”The New York Times published an Arts Cover Story about the power of the video in empowering Latinas. The video was also featured in outlets from VOGUE to The Guardian. NPR said: “It’s been called an ode to little brown girls everywhere. A swaggier Little Miss Sunshine. An empowerment anthem.”
