So, Colombia’s Pernett made a cumbia on his computer and named it “Cumbia Computer.” He even made a do-it-yourself video for it, remember? OK, that was three months ago, now the track is finally available for download on
, released in the US by Nickodemus‘ own label Wonderwheel Recordings.
The track is part of an EP featuring a series of remixes by no other than Nickodemus himself and DJ Zeb(both of whom, by the way have own full length released dropping this month), taking Pernett’s characteristic ñu-cumbia sound into very different directions (reggae, electro, funk…) and making it irresistible for the the eclectic dancefloors of the world.
Here’s one of the remixes free, exclusively for Remezcla’s readers. And while we keep waiting for Pernett’s third album, make sure to check out the other six tracks on this release.

Hola amigos, acá les comparto la edición de Cumbia Computer creada por Wonderwheel Recordings en Nueva York, incluye cuatro versiones de la Cumbia Computer producidas por Dj ZEB y un super especial remix de “La Rumba Bacana” producido por Nickodemus, puedes encontrarlo a través de Amazon, Beatport, Junodownload, y Itunes.
Algo importante tiene que pasar en la noche de Bogotá para que el invierno desaparezca. Son días y noches frías en este mes que nos encuentra acá. Por suerte una de esas cosas mágicas que de vez en cuando suceden, pasó ayer por la noche. Culpa y obra del Mago Pernett.
Bogaloop es un lugar situado en la zona norte de la Capital, precisamente en el barrio de Chapinero.
Hacia allá nos dirigimos para ver a este artista de la zona costeña de Colombia. El viaje gélido del centro hacia el portal norte vía servicio de Bus nos depositó de manera rauda en la entrada del Club – Bar.
Tal eficiencia en el sistema Transmilenio (así se llama el caótico servicio de ómnibus) era el mejor augurio de una buena noche.

When it comes to the Do It Yourself philosophy, Colombia’s Humberto Pernett is not one to take things lightly. He does it pretty much all himself. Take this new song for example. He wrote it, of course, then he recorded the vocals and most of the percussion instruments and keyboards, and then he did all the programming and studio production in his own home studio. As if that wasn’t enough, he then did this video, yes, he actually did all the animations and judging by the angle of these images, we can assume he shoot many of them himself with his laptop’s webcam!
“Cumbia Computer” (sounds a lot more cumbia than computer, to be honest) is the first self-released single of Pernett’s upcoming album Caribbean Computer, and an ode to his homeland in Northern Colombia. It’s the third full-length solo exploration into future cumbia by one of the pioneers of the whole ñu-cumbia thing (remember Sidestepper?) coming out from the birthplace of cumbia itself.

There is something that comes through whenever “folkclor progresivo” artist Pernett releases a track and it’s all too appropriate as we near the start of Barranquilla’s Carnival on February 18th. That something is Colombia’s Caribbean coast.
Though the self-professed “geek” spends hours, days even, in his “lab,” (the studio), Pernett took a short break to tell us how Colombia’s Caribbean coast has, and always will be, a part of him.
“My father taught me that if I wanted to make music enjoyable I had to find a way to have it mimic the feeling of being on the beach,” said the native Barranquillero, who now calls the western Colombian city of Cali home.
“We all love the sea and what it produces in us, and I’ve built my sound based upon that feeling,” he said. “The sea is huge and has many possibilities — endless, I think, and I hope its influence will stay with me until the end of my career.”
We’re willing to bet the end of Pernett’s career is a long way off, as all those hours spent in his lab are resulting in his soon-to-be-released fifth album, The Caribbean Computer (If you’re getting Radiohead vibes here, think deeper. Or better yet, read the story about how part one of this new album came to be).
The first single he produced for the record, “Cumbia Computer,” is an ode to his beloved costa:
Caribe suena mi canto, caribe me condición
Caribe mi pensamiento, caribe hasta la razón.
It features Pernett on vocals along with a host of instruments heard in folkloric Colombian music: the gaita flute, maracas, the guache and bass drums, and the keyboard.
A deep thinker, Pernett often posts pensive status messages on his Facebook page. Just the other day, he wrote that he considers himself to be much “more than just a DJ.” He elaborated on that status with Sounds and Colours:
“As things change, as phones and other devices have been advanced to provide more services, so, too, should artists. Technology allows us to interact deeper with people and expand our limits every day,” he said.
Pernett, whose family has organized one of the most popular comparsas (a folkloric dance group and band – watchhere) in the carnival of Barranquilla for more than 20 years, grew up watching tonnes of live music.
“Shows in Colombia are just a bunch of bands,” he said. “I feel shows can be further enriched by using visual imagery, technology and sound contributed by Caribbean culture.”
Next up for Pernett: Performances in Bogotá on March 1st at the Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo along with electro cumbia sensation, Sidestepper http://www.teatromayor.com/?pagina=obra&id=172, and on March 2nd at Teatro Metro with fellow costeños, Systema Solar.
