Santaferia, one of the most important cumbia groups in Chile is
debuting their new song “Mis Muertos,” a track that wishes to commemorate through joy
all those who are no longer among the living. The composition includes new and
exotic instruments such as the guacharaca, the Colombian tambor
and digital effects that envelop listeners in their sound, achieving a perfect
and ingenious mix between a caja nortina and a typical reggaeton
caja.
The lyrics of “Mis Muertos” are inspired by the Mexican ancestral tradition
of celebrating and remembering their loved ones who have departed for another
life. The song speaks of how that relationship is nurtured on the Day of the
Dead, a tradition that fuses the Catholic celebration of All Saints’ Day with
the custom of the indigenous pre-Hispanic communities to preserve the skulls of
the deceased and use them for rituals in which they honored the dead and
celebrated a new beginning.
This single is a collaboration with El Flecha Negra, a multicultural band consisting of Chilean
musicians and Latinos residing in Europe, who also share family ties with
Santaferia.
With a 15-year career, during which they’ve made music
culture—specifically cumbia—grow and become a cultural symbol across their
country, Santaferia will embark on their first tour of Mexico, a tour that is
part of their anniversary celebrations that began last October with the release
of their documentary and the spectacular concerts at the Gran Arena Monticello.
Mexico was a pending challenge for Santaferia because Mexican
music and culture have always been influential for the artists in Chile, and
Santaferia is no exception. As such, on March 17, they’ll make their debut on
Mexican soil in the city of Puebla and will wrap up the tour of 12 confirmed
dates on April 3 in Ixtapaluka, Mexico.
