Our Music
If Quilombera moves your soul, come dance with us, feel the drums, and be part of the rhythm that brings our roots to life.
Quilombera, formerly known as Suma Qamaña, is an Afro-Colombian music ensemble igniting the stage with rhythms from the Caribbean coast — blending tradition, drums, and dance into an unforgettable, high-energy experience.
If Quilombera moves your soul, come dance with us, feel the drums, and be part of the rhythm that brings our roots to life.
Quilombera Ensemble is a dynamic musical project rooted in the vibrant traditions of the Colombian Caribbean coast. Based in Nelson, British Columbia, the ensemble performs a varied repertoire that blends the driving rhythms of Afro-Colombian folklore - such as cumbia, bullerengue, mapale and fandangos - with contemporary harmonic textures and original compositions.
Quilombera was founded by Bruno Bosio in Canada as a continuation of his artistic journey that began with Suma Qamana, an Afro-Colombian ensemble he directed in Argentina from 2013 to 2019. With Quilombera, he brings together musicians from diverse backgrounds to reinterpret Afro-Colombian rhythms through original compositions and contemporary arrangements.
In 2025, Quilombera performed at several festivals and venues across British Columbia: Lantern Festival (Nelson), Carnival at Spirit Bar (Nelson), Balfour Daze (Balfour), The Royal (Nelson), Surrey Fusion Festival (Surrey), Art Revy Outside (Revelstoke), Angry Hen (Kaslo), and Argenta Fall Fair (Argenta).
The group is currently working on a new original album, set for release in August 2026, continuing their journey of musical exploration and connection through Afro-Colombian sounds.
