CHAMBAO

Chambao is a musical project that was born at night of San Juan of 2001, the night of the summer solstice, one of more the magicians of the year and, without a doubt, the Mediterranean celebration par excellence. Mari, Eddi, Dani and Henrik (a Dutch servant in Colombia) were the original creators of this formation that occurred to know through an album recopilatorio that took to its own name and the Flamenco title of chill (2002). Chambao is now a trio whose magic resides in the way to make coexist in perfect symbiosis the soul of the flamenco one and the electronic techniques of the phenomenon chill out. Chambao is a peculiar musical and creative unit formed by Eddi, Mari, Dani and Henrik in the district of Pedregalejo, in Malaga, during the summer of 2001. They accidentally gave with the name while they at night mounted "chambao" of San Juan (dawn from the 23 to the 24 of June), as he is typical to do. It is a word used Andalusian to talk about to any house or ceiling to take refuge of the sun, rain and the wind. Dani and Edi, being prime, have touched music since they were young. Mari grew up in the quarter of Santa Teresa, in Malaga. Of girl it was inspired by Anglo-American music, but she was his mother the one that introduced to him in the flamenco one, which now it continues being his passion and its art. Henrik is a Dutch servant in Colombia that knows cumbia thorough but that it studied in London cinematographic composition. By the force of the destiny, and when knowing Eddi, Mari and Dani during vacations, that occurred to account of shared important musical interests. They began to always record songs that speak of the playera culture, maintaining a base flamenco. Connecting to these musical roots a contemporary sound the Chambao sound arose "". Mari is in charge of the voices, yet its accent Andalusian and, mainly, giving all its being. Supporting to him in the choirs it is the rest of the band, reflecting poetic ideas and simultaneously humbly elegant. Although this new union like the beginning is described as flamenco chill, Chambao maintains an own and original style outside the musical tendencies, like proves this selection of own subjects plus others selected by they themselves. The 17 of February of 2003 the trio began to give to form in the Coín studies Record of Coín (Malaga), to which months later it would become his first own work. The Italian Bob Benozzo, surpassed student of the school of Emanuele Ruffinengo (Alexander Sanz, Ana Bethlehem, Christian, Arming Manzanero) and expert in chill out, was the one in charge . Finally, after several months of work, Endorfinas in the mind saw the light the 23 of June of 2003, the watch of San Juan, the Mediterranean night par excellence, the one of the summer solstice. Between the 11 subjects that compose it there is a classic version of the flamenco one Flying I go, made up of Kiko immortalized Poison and in the voice of Shrimp. The cut that was chosen as first simple was There you are you.

Pokito A Poko Lyrics


Andaba perdia de camino pa la casa
cavilando en lo que soy y en lo que siento
pokito a poko entendiendo
que no vale la pena andar por andar
que´s mejor caminá pa ir creciendo


volvere a encontrame con vosotros
volvere a sonreir en la mañana
volvere con lagrima en los ojo
mirar al cielo y dar las gracias


pokito a poko entendiendo
que no vale la pena andar por andar
que es mejo caminar pa ir creciendo
pokito a poko entendiendo
que no vale la pena andar por andar
que es mejo caminar pa ir creciendo


mirarme dentro y comprender
que tus ojo son mis ojo
que tu piel es mi piel
en tu oido me alborozo
en tu sonrisa me baño
y soy parte de tu ser
que no vale la pena andar por andar
es mejo caminar pa ir creciendo.


pokito a poko entendiendo
que no vale la pena andar por andar
que es mejo camina pa ir creciendo
pokito a poko entendiendo
que no vale la pena andar por andar
que es mejo camina pa ir creciendo


volvere a sentarme con los mio
volvere a compartir mi alegria
volvere pa contarte que he soñado
colores nuevos y dias claros
volvere pa contarte que he soñao
colores nuevos y dias claros
