Chicha Libre, the Brooklyn band inspired by this stuff, are playing for free from 6 to 7 US east coast time at the Kennedy Center in DC wed. January 21. The gig is also being shown live on the K. Ctr. Millennium stage website and will be archived. I may go.

Was busy parenting and missed the show. Will have to check out the archived video.

tip-o-the-hat to ALTERED ZONES, the world's greatest "international collective of music bloggers . . . highlight(ing) one of the more overlooked narratives in contemporary music -- the proliferation of home-recorded sounds, small-scale releases, and pockets of underground activity all over the world," for alerting me to the forthcoming disc.

Los Wembler's are in DC this week and I have seen them for free twice. Love their meld of chicha, cumbia and surf. They are doing a Brooklyn gig July 9 in addition to the DC ones.

These guys are my favorite. Masstropicas put out a six track thing of theirs a few years ago and I've sought out some more tracks on mysterious websites since then - they play a very romantic take on this stuff
