Combo Chimbita: Rock Band in New York

About Combo Chimbita

Combo Chimbita is a New York City–based band that blends Afro-Caribbean rhythms with rock, funk, and electronics, led by vocalist and lyricist Carolina Oliveros. Formed in the city’s DIY circuit, the group has built its profile through club stages and festival bills across the five boroughs, including regular runs through Brooklyn and Manhattan rooms. Their songs draw on Colombian and broader Latin American traditions while keeping a contemporary, bass-forward frame. Onstage, the performances favor ritual and momentum over showy technique.
