eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Poder de Chicha 2 Mix" (2010)

Its that time of year folks. We're all gorging ourselves for the winter. Maximizing our fat reserves for the coming months. Would you like more starch with your starch? Seconds? Thirds? Elevensies? Save room for dessert mijo. And the gravy flows like a thick brown iridescent Angel Falls. What better way to say goodbye to the golden warmth of the sun than with one more mixtape of those tropical Chicha jams. I've logged many hours these past few months, searching the dregs, combing the fine mesh of the internet to bring us a new stable of tracks to play into the dirt. I've surprised myself with this years harvest. New names. New faces. New tones. "New." Some of these remind me of the time I traveled in Peru back in 2001. Especially when I was on the northern coast. I definitely remember riding a bus around Huanchaco with the conductor blasting a tiny boombox to the point where it was breaking up and distorting but it still sounded awesome. I had no idea at the time that that was this that I'm collecting these days. I just thought it was some weird sounding cumbias. Having said that, I'll shut up.

TOMALA

A Very Special Request - Los Destellos

One of my favorites from the Chicha scene and also one of the trailblazers of the genre itself. All of this is owed to Enrique Delgado, the band's director and founder. His vision and his unique guitar style molded the Peruvian cumbias that we all love today. Here is all of my Los Destellos I could scrounge up from my hard drives.


Your welcome.

Las Raices de la Chicha… La Leyenda Continua - Volumen 1 (2010)

Oh internets, how do I love thee. You bring the whole world together while I just sit on my ass and stare at a monitor. This compilation you see before you was sent to me from the source, my new Peruvian friend Wilmer. To summarize part of the text document in the file as well, "Chicha is more than a musical movement. It is a social movement of the mestizos." This is music of the people. I will no longer consider Lima the capital of Peru. Viva Cusco!


Enjoy!

eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Poder de Chicha Mix" (2010)

This mix is strictly chicha. Primarily, chicha is usually a old fermented corn beverage that dates back to the Inca Empire. In the late 60's it referred to a form of peruvian pop music that fused cumbia with electric guitars, fuzz pedals, wah wahs, and farfisa. For a good historical account go here.

Andres Landero "Grandes Cumbias de Andres Landero"

I'm a born and raised Tejas boy and proud. Tejas is Mexico. Always will be. So, this popularity of cumbia is great. I love the fact that it's creeping into American dance music. Some DJ friends of mine throw a monthly dance party in Austin, Tx. that brings out chingos of kids and they all love to get down to those infectious latino jams. Now just because you hear that triplet on a guiro, it does not always mean its a cumbia and there are many variations of cumbias depending on which region you look at in Latin America. Let's go to the source, Columbia. Andres Landero plays one of the traditional forms of cumbias. Its not stylized with big brass sections and tail coats. Its raw. Its playful. Its from the land. His accordion style is erratic with some minor dissonances. This particular style is classified as vallenato, which means from the valley. Although Landero never achieved the amount of success as other vallenatos of his day, his popularity rises with time and trends and is now considered a legend.
