La Doble Nelson

La Doble Nelson is a cumbia band based and formed in Berlin with members from Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Holland and Germany. The repertoire we explore incorporates tradicional Colombian music, Peruvian chicha, and Argentinean cumbia villera.
Cumbia is not only a musical style but also a cultural phenomenon that in many of us is rooted and linked to experiences that connect us with a much wider world than a mere musical show. The connection with the body through dance, the experience of an integral cultural event where a large part of the community participates for the simple fact of celebrating are some of the reasons that lead us to produce and share this music with the rest of the community that loves and enjoys this it.
The context where the project was born gives us the possibility to connect with cultures that have not been exposed to cumbia such as the city of Berlin.
