LA BOMBA

La BOMBA is a powerful ensemble at the intersection of improvisation, Nordic free jazz, deep groove, and sample-based production. The band fuses high-energy, rhythm-driven improvisation with a raw, groove-heavy sound influenced by dub, jungle/drum & bass, and boom-bap. More than just an experiment in genre fusion, La BOMBA is a cohesive unit with a distinct musical identity, balancing tight compositional structures with the explosive freedom of live interplay. Rooted in a Nordic free jazz sensibility yet pulsing with the influence of beat culture, the band thrives in the space between acoustic and electronic sound worlds, pushing forward the possibilities of avant-garde improvisation.

The band features a powerhouse lineup:

• Erik Kimestad – trumpet

• Sölvi Kolbeinsson – alto saxophone

• Francesco Bigoni – tenor saxophone

• Luca Curcio – bass, sampler

• Simon Albertsen – drums
