Cumbia!

Been on a Cumbia fix lately. Must have gotten the urge after checking out a cumbia mix at
kicktokill
, which by the way, is a great, fun filled blog on metal, hip-hop, punk, random as hell videos that keep degenerates like you and I entertained.

 This video is of an artist by the name of Chacalon. His band was called La Nueva Crema and I believe he also split his duties with another band by the name of Grupo Celeste. Although Chacalon has passed away, fans of Chicha music, which is a Peruvian derivative of Cumbia, have not let his young death be in vain. His music continue to inspire the poor working class of South America.

The guitars are a work of art. Chicha seems to incorporate the pulsating rhythm of cumbia, mix in andean chord structures, and throw in fuzz with reverb ala American surf rock for a sound music explorers will enjoy.

This is a treat. If you want to download a really dope comp, Go here,
here
and give it a spin.

Los orientales de Paramonga are another highlight in the compilation. Heavy hitting dance tracks. I'm so glad to see this stuff on the web.

Peruvian Cumbia ala Chopped and Skrewed?!

So I stumbled upon a blog called Murky Recess that posted a mix of slowed down Peruvian chicha music now going by the name of Cumbia Rebajada. It's incredibly catchy and you can't help imagining South and Central American kids getting their kicks out of this while huffing glue and paint thinners. PSYCHEDELIC.
