Corazón De Chonta Ft. Xiomara Torres at Marimba Cafe

About

Corazón de Chonta is a vibrant musical ensemble led by Dan Neville that blends the rich traditions of Música del Pacífico Colombiano with jazz. Featuring the powerful vocals of Xiomara Torres from Guapi, Colombia, the group highlights the marimba de chonta, a traditional Afro-Colombian instrument, while infusing its sound with modern harmonies and rhythms. The result is a dynamic fusion that celebrates the cultural heritage of Colombia's Pacific coast while exploring innovative musical landscapes. The ensemble performs regularly at the Marimba Café in New Jersey, a community-focused venue with roots in Puerto Rican and Colombian culture.
