Simón Mejía, the founder and a member of the Colombian Grammy Award-winning band Bomba Estéreo, recently spoke with Democracy Now! about the election of Francia Márquez Mina as Colombia’s first Afro-Colombian vice president and about the band’s new film project that centers the resistance, experiences and traditions of Afro-Colombians, called “El Duende,” a musical journey on Colombia’s Pacific coast. The film follows the story of the Dinastía Torres, a family of marimba instrumentalists with African ancestral roots.
