Bio
"Madre Monte latin/reggae band was born out of the mystic and feeling of Cumbia mixed with the good vibes of reggae......." In 2007 two Colombians in Melbourne Australia decided to make their own music mixing Latin/Colombian rhythms specially Cumbia with Reggae. After seeing that the music needed more energy, more friends started joining the project. Drums, trumpet, percussion, guitars and other instruments like saxophone and trombone became members of what Madre Monte is today. Having Cumbia, traditional Colombian music and Reggae as the main musical influences, it seemed appropriate to mix stories from the myths and legends from Colombian folklore and global social issues to create the lyrics. With this Madre Monte combines reggae and cumbia, not just in the union of rhythm and music, but also in the philosophy behind the lyrics. Español: "Cuando el sabor y la mística de la cumbia se mezclan con las buenas vibraciones del reggae se crea Madre Monte" En el 2007 un par de colombianos en Melbourne Australia decidieron a hacer su propia música, mezclando ritmos latino/colombianos, especialmente la Cumbia con el Reggae. Al ver que la música creada requeriría más energía, más amigos se fueron uniendo al proyecto. Al par se unieron batería, trompeta, percusión, guitarras y otros instrumentos invitados tales como saxofón y trombón, dando origen a lo que hoy es Madre Monte. Teniendo como influencia básica la "cumbia", música tradicional colombiano y el Reggae, se decidió acoplar las historias de los mitos y las leyendas del folklore Colombiano a las letras de las canciones como también hablar de problemas sociales globales. De esta forma se busca acoplar los estilos del reggae y la cumbia, no solo en la unión de las bases rítmicas y musicales, sino también en la filosofía detrás de las líricas. -

Dajjal has been identified!!
Do you know the Dajjal (the anti-Christ), the one-eyed giant prophecised by the
messenger of Allah has already been in existence for the past 472 years & has been
identified? You will be amazed to know that it is completely different from what it is
thought to be today. To see what it actually is – visit the website:
