¡¡¡Alucínalo!!!

Our friend Randy Salazar Jr., who, when not performing with Grupo Chambelán or working his day job as keyboardist/live FX for electro-rockers Plastilina Mosh, spends his time researching Mexican popular culture and cosmic vision, has just released a killer compilation of cumbia rebajada, an honest tribute to the sort of sounds you would be able to pick up on shoddy CD-Rs beneath Monterrey's Puente del Papa or the street stalls between Av. Carranza and Av. Cuauhtémoc.

¡¡¡Cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cumbiahhhh!!!

My mind is telling me no...but my body's telling me yes!

Listening to the Pero Spicey mixtape by Gnucci Banana and Spoek Mathambo makes you want to revisit this great Sammy Bananas track from a few months back which stretches out the opening from R. Kelly's "Bump N' Grind" to maximum effect. Awesome!

COMING SOON: Sammy Bananas w/Gavin Holland, Sat. Jan. 29th, 10PM, DC9, 1353 H St NW
