BOMBA ESTEREO announces 'DEJA,' first album in 4 years

Colombian stars Bomba Estereo have announced 'Deja,' their long-awaited first album in 4 years. The band has released the album's first 3 songs to accompany the announcement - "Agua," "Deja" and “Soledad".

The "Agua" music video was directed by Bomba's singer Liliana "Li" Saumet and Jhoy Suarez. It was filmed on Colombia's Caribbean coast near Li's home. "The video comes from an idea I had about a ritual, entering into a parallel universe in which we find ourselves in a deeper connection with nature, in a more surreal and feminine way," Li explains. "I wanted to begin the album with this feminine energy, each woman represents a different element in nature. For me, it was also about the place I live, where the mountains meet the sea.”

'Deja' is divided conceptually into four sections that correspond to the earth's four elements: Agua, Aire, Tierra, and Fuego. “The album is about the connection and disconnection of human beings—from the planet, from one’s own self,” Li says. “It’s about how we’re disconnected, more connected to electronic devices and virtual things than real things. So we decided to use the four elements, because they’re part of the equilibrium of human beings.”
