Description
Jonathan Richman's party-starter 'Egyptian Reggae' has been responsible for setting thousands of discerning dance floors on fire around the world since its original release date, in the golden year of punk, 1977 The original composition has been given the obvious Jah twist on a few occasions, so we thought it was about time for the Richman's classic to receive a fun yet respectful cumbia treatment. At the end of the day both genres fit really well together, and we can't help but dream of DJs mixing both sounds in their sets! This cumbia candy has been recorded in Lima by no other than Pancho Acosta, founder and guitarist of Company Quinto, and one of the greatest cumbia guitar players in Peru. On the flip side we find one of Acosta's own original songs, 'Carnaval de Jujuy', recorded by Austin-based future cumbia group Money Chicha. The band presents a fascinating exploration of the nexus of Peru's legendary fuzzed out early chicha sound and the band's unique application of chicha-influenced sounds to this terrific cumbia.
