Party: La Cuneta Son Machine
Main page > La Rumba > La Cuneta Son Machine
La Cuneta Son Machín’s distinctive brand of marimba-soaked hyper-cumbia can’t help but be directly influenced by the country’s old-school storytelling traditions. Carlos Mejía Godoy is the father of two La Cuneta members, Augusto Mejía and marimba player Carlos Mejía. Singer Carlos “Frijol” Guillén is a cousin through the Mejía side and the band’s remaining three members — keyboardist César Rodríguez, drummer Fabio Buitrago and guitarist Omar Suazo — are all young but seasoned professional musicians from the capital city who grew up playing everything from rock to jazz to, yes, folklorico.
