Magical Primitivism:
Sexteto Tabalá

Sexteto Tabalá was founded in the 30′s by Manuel Valdez Simancas “Simancongo” in the famous Maroon village of San Basilio de Palenque. Simancongo was part of the Lumbalú Cabildo (a council of elders in charge of mortuary practices and the organization of all the rituals that are done in Palenque around death – as in the Congo and Angola).

Initially, the group met just to play at funerals and Lumbalú rituals, but began to settle as a band thanks to Rafael Cassiani Cassiani. Since then, their music has become part of the daily life of Palenque. Every week, the members of the sextet go together to work the land; and between blows of machete they sing.

The Sexteto music comes from the Cuban son, who arrived in Colombia in the 20s through exchange with other slaves working in sugar mills. The palenquero son has since developed into a unique genre, staying primitive, spontaneous and mysterious, with magical realism in lyrics. The son is genre unknown to most Colombians, except in the black communities of the palenques and in the Caribbean coast.

Primitivismo Mágico
Sexteto Tabalá

El Sexteto Tabalá fue fundado en los años 30 por Manuel Valdez Simancas “Simancongo” en el célebre pueblo cimarrón de San Basilio de Palenque. Simancongo hacia parte del Cabildo Lumbalú (el consejo de ancianos que se encarga de las prácticas mortuarias y de la organización de todos los rituales que se hacen en Palenque alrededor de la muerte – tal como en el Congo o en Angola).

En un principio, el grupo se reunía sólo para tocar en los entierros y rituales Lumbalú, pero empezaron a conformarse como grupo musical gracias a Rafael Cassiani Cassiani. Desde entonces, su música ha hecho parte de la vida cotidiana de Palenque. Todas las semanas, los miembros del Sexteto van juntos a trabajar la tierra. Y entre golpe y golpe de machete se distraen con los “cantos de rosa” (cantos del monte) o con los “Versos de Negro”.

La música del Sexteto proviene del son Cubano, que llegó a Colombia en los años 20s gracias al intercambio con otros esclavos que trabajaban en los ingenios azucareros. El son palenquero se ha desarrollado como género único, manteniendose a la vez primitivo, espontáneo y misterioso, con letras de realismo mágico; siendo áun un género desconocido para la mayoría de los colombianos, salvo en las comunidades negras de los palenques y la costa Caribe./p>
