CUMBIAMUFFIN
14th Piece Band Cumbia Orchestra
Cumbiamuffin’s wall of sound is unstoppable on the dance floor and with the
collective energy of authentic Colombian singers, this orchestra is conquering
the local music scene.
Put together by Colombian and Australian musicians, this project has the
common vision of introducing the purest sounds of traditional Cumbia to the
Australian audiences,blended with contemporary caribbean rhythms like Ragga
and Reggae, playing the classics that made this genre the most popular rhythm in
Latin America during the 80’s, and that now is taking over the world.
Since its inception in December 2010, Cumbiamuffin has sold out many well
known Sydney venues - including Club 505; The Metro; Paddington Eastside Arts
and Club Marconi. Cumbiamuffin has also stretched its considerable musical
talents to share stages with Sidestepper (Colombia), Mucho Mambo (AUS), and
Watussi (AUS) amongst others.

A BIT ABOUT THE MUSICIANS
Cumbiamuffin musicians are drawn from a diverse pool of Sydney and Colombian elite professional
musicians with a great array of qualifications between them who have devoted their lives to play the
best music possible and bring together a fusion of different and unique sounds.
It’s impossible at the moment to show the biographies of the 15-member orchestra due to its rich
content. But we will give you an insight of some of them.
Trombonist Michael Raper musically leads Cumbiamuffin. Mike has spent his professional career playing
between Australia, Europe, Asia and the Americas with such acts as Son Veneno (AUS), Osvaldo
Chacon (Bamboleo), Wilson Saoko (CLO), Enrique Pla (Irakere), Watussi (AUS), Mucho Mambo (AUS),
Batucada Sound Machine (NZL) and Kenny Wheeler (ENG) amongst many others. Mike Studied a
Bachelor of Music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
Cumbiamuffin was put together by Mike Raper and Colombian Born Guitarist Carlos Arango who
graduated from the Australian Institute of Music with a Bachelor of Music majoring in Audio
Technology and currently works as a Sound Engineer for the Sydney Opera House.
Carlo’s original Idea was to join forces with musicians from both countries to introduce in Australia
one of the most addictive and fast growing rhythms from Latin America. Since its first concert
Cumbiamuffin has gained lots of interest in the local scene due to its originality and big brass orchestra
feel.
The Colombian contingency consists of:
Angela Rosero, (born in Bogota -Colombia) is a passionate performer who arrived in Australia four
years ago. She has been delighting her audience around the country not only with her soulful voice but
also with her acting. She has performed in different music festivals, such as Darling Harbour Fiesta in
Sydney and Blues Fest in Byron Bay. Angela also manages a performance space in Rozelle (La Sala) with
regular theatre performances, music and dance lessons.
On 2009 Angela received the Viva Fiesta award, due to her contribution to the Festival as a new
emerging talent. With her powerful presence on stage she will take you to live the authentic Latin
American party with the rhythm of Cumbia.
MC Altafari, (born in Cali -Colombia) Specializes in Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Reggae and dancehall, He
has collaborated with bands like Third World, Luciano Lee’s Scratch, Perry, O- Yaba, Arrested
Development, Bo Jah, Jay Ja, Roberts, Ras Rony, Jah Baya Jah Baya Sound of Revolution, Basslines Crew,
Bump Crew DJ Johna, 4:20 productions, Rebel Soul Sistem and more local acts
Francisco Castillo, (born in Bogota – Colombia) is a passionate Percussionist who graduated from the
Faculty of Arts with a Diploma in Music with an emphasis on folkloric music. He has spent a great deal
of his musical career studying the native Colombian rhythms and other traditional styles with the
objective of interpreting and representing them to different audiences. He currently plays a
combination of Tambora (big drum mic), Alegre (jembe similar a drum with animal skin) and Maracones
(large Shakers)
