CHICHA LIBRE

From gritty backwaters and backrooms, from retro equipment and deceptive nostalgia, the multinational outfit Chicha Libre (featuring members of Si Sé and Combustible Edison) returns with Canibalismo. This new album is an expression of the edgy craving that is fueling a pop rethink around South America and causing a stir in the rock-tired indie scene. The album of originals takes its cues from Peruvian chicha, a style that put surf guitar, rainforest psychedelics, and Andean flavor to a cumbia beat with open-minded exuberance.  Also catch them later that night at Brick & Mortar!
