Yuba Ire

Yuba Ire is an ensemble deeply rooted in the rich musical traditions of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and tunes. Emerging as torchbearers of cultural expression, they seamlessly blend the vibrant, complex patterns of rumba with the soulful threads of Afro-Puerto Rican bomba and plena genres. Their music is a celebration of life, a homage to their ancestors, and a dynamic assertion of cultural identity.

Their recent releases, such as "Sentido Pésame," elevate the traditional mournful notes of rumba into a transcendental experience, paying respect to the past while invigorating the genre with contemporary vigor. "Repica el Requinto" showcases the group's exceptional skills in string-based melody, as the requinto—a smaller, higher-pitched cousin of the guitar—dances through the song, commanding attention with its bright, distinctive twang. "¡Está es mi rumba!" captures the essence of their musical spirit, an invitation to listeners to immerse themselves in the world of rumba with a fresh, energetic twist. Finally, "¡Ya está! ¡Se formó!" marks a celebratory anthem, a culmination of Yuba Ire's mission to craft soundscapes where old-school rhythms meet modern narratives, creating a space where every beat is a story and every melody is a journey through their cultural heritage.
