Cumbia No 2 – Guns of Brixton – Chicha Libre
I was always a big Fan of The Clash and Brixton is just a magic place breathing lots of british Reggae History. So here comes Chicha Libre, a Brooklyn-based collective which count members from Mexico, France, Venezuela and the US with a new 4 Track EP playing some Cover Versions. Chicha was a Peruvian form of cumbia, itself the most popular – and often most populist – of all South American rhythms. In the 1970’s, Peruvian musicians took their cues from Colombian dance music and their own Amazonian and mountain traditions, but also from British and Californian psych rock. Chicha musicians favored electric guitars with wah pedals and fuzztone and worshipped Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix – and Willie Colon.

Hard hitting horns funkin’ up 50s style Cumbia, a tight rhythm section dissecting Afro-Colombian progressions, skankin’ guitars infusing reggae grooves, and a front man recreating the ancient mythological stories of Colombia all intertwine to create what is now Melbourne’s unique 9-piece Latin Reggae outfit Madre Monte.
