"The long running Brooklyn-based collective Chicha Libre counts members from Mexico, France, Venezuela and the US. Taking inspiration from exotic strains of cumbia, this follow-up to their mostly original tracks on their Canibalismo LP sees the band turning its attention to some well-known classics, applying their psychedelic chicha template to the Clash, Arthur Lee's Love, Los Shapis, and the Danny Eflman theme song to The Simpsons. Originally released on Record Store Day in 2013, it has been remastered and is available once again on vinyl. With this EP, Chicha Libre was closing a loop -- using a sound that was shaped by Peruvian tropical music to pay tribute to its own rockero roots -- and to some of its personal heroes. Jacket designed by Peruvian artist Elliot Tupac, whose posters and murals can be found on the walls of every neighborhood in Lima. Credited with perfecting a Chicha graphic style which has come to represent Peruvian urban culture. His work has been shown all over Latin America."
