Pernett with DJ Elbow Knee Knee
Saturday, December 9, 7 pm

A Columbian pioneer of electronic music fusions with traditional sounds, this Barranquilla-born multi-instrumentalist Humberto Pernett fuses Columbia folklore with electronic elements.

When Pernett appeared in 2003 with his first work called “Musica para Pick Up”, an interesting musical movement was growing in Latin America: an awakening of its roots.

In Colombia Pernett was the pioneer of a new market characterized by the creation of independent labels and original music based on the traditions. He mixes electronic music with traditional Colombian Caribbean sounds. Now his are the sounds of many bands in Colombia. His writing talks about many things but in particular talks about the protection of the environment and the expansion of consciousness, all this mixed with a touch of humor and Caribbean flavor. His sixth album, “Siembra Solo Amor” is a clear reference of this. Pernett mixes different skills, like singing, composing, producing, and playing traditional instruments from Colombia like his “Gaita”, a traditional instrument created by the native indigenous of the Colombian Caribbean coast, and playing the synthesizers all this mixed with drums and percussions. -Via Worldwide Music Expo
