Coba Coba is the third album from the Peruvian band, Novalima. The 2009 release, off U.S.-based, independent label, Cumbancha further explores Afro-Peruvian music's African roots. The band implores the use of various genres, reggae, dub, salsa, afro-beat, to create their sound. Coba Coba stays true to its traditional roots while simultaneously pushing the boundaries; "Most people still think Peru is only panpipes," says guitarist/keyboardist Rafael Morales. "This is our interpretation of traditional Afro-Peruvian music, forward-thinking but without losing the soul and tribal rhythms of its roots." The sound is cutting edge but traces its roots back to the times of Spanish Colonial rule and slavery.
