Background notes
Archive material and source history
Sibha Terrero formed in 1999 in Ecuador's Chota Valley region, led by vocalist and percussionist Marcelo Cumbicus. They worked with Afro-Ecuadorian rhythms like marimba and bombo, blending them with contemporary sounds. Their song "Carro de Boi" became particularly well-known.
They released albums including "Raíces" in 2004, "Afro-Andino" in 2007, and "Elemental" in 2011. Other tracks like "Gueto" and "In Natura" show their range. They performed at festivals including WOMAD and New York's Lincoln Center.
Some traditionalists in Afro-Indigenous communities criticized their approach to blending genres. The band included members like Marco Armijos on marimba, Byron Cumbicus on bombo, Wilson Cumbicus on guitar, and Carlos Cumbicus on bass.
