LAMC SummerStage: chocquibtown, vicentegarciag & MacacoMusic indicate a more eclectic future in Latin pop
Whenwon a Latin Grammy award for their breakout song “De Donde Vengo Yo” back in 2010, they testified that pride and passion for roots can resonate far and wide. From the shantytowns of Chocó, Colombia, to the global stage, the Afro-Colombian trio reaffirmed their testament on Saturday at Central Park’s SummerStage, as they opened up with that same rap hit, boasting plenty of grace, cool and fervor.
“We come from a region in Colombia where we flow with the vibe of the Pacific. Welcome to the Pacific!” shouted rapper Carlos “Tostao” Valencia, right before cuing the verse to the next song, “Somos Pacíficos.” “Estamos unidos/ Nos une la región/ La pinta, la raza, y el don del sabor,” his wife, Gloria “Goyo” Martínez, crooned with a smooth, mellifluous flow that paired intriguingly well with her brother Miguel “Slow” Martínez’s breezy hip-hop beats.
Always grabbing the audience's attention, Tostao blurted this little fact: “Did you know that 75 percent of the people who are here [in New York] came for a love? This song is for those who left with untold confessions,” he said right before playing the sultry “Desde el Día en Que te Fuiste." “This is the moment to tell that special person that you love them.
