Volume two focuses more on the urban aspect of the music and less on the Amazonian side. It highlights some lesser-known bands, and it also broadens its scope to include some of the early Cuban-influenced groups who would play such a crucial role in the elaboration of the chicha sound, as well as some of the later bands who play in the more Andean style that came to be referred to as chicha.

Robert Christgau =============================================================   <a href="http://barbesrecords.com/rootsofchicha.html">The first volume of The Roots of Chicha</a> took listeners back to the late 1960’s, when a number of Peruvian guitarists from Lima and the Amazon created a new electric hybrid which mixed cumbia, surf, Cuban guaracha, rock, Peruvian folklore, and psychedelic touches. This new wave of Peruvian cumbia came to be known as chicha. Scorned by the the middle-class and the official tastemakers, chicha remained mostly associated with the slums of Lima, where the ever-growing population of Andean migrants embraced the music and its players as their own. The album was a stunning success and the music was embraced by musicians, writers and DJs from Europe, Latin America and the US who saw it it as a lost link between rock and Latin cultures. Accolades flowed from the New York Times, NPR, Le Monde, El Comercio and the BBC. One of its songs was covered by the band Franz Ferdinand, actor Elijah Wood praised it profusely in an interview to Paste magazine. Chilean rock group Los Tres gave a copy of the record to then-president Bachelet, which somehow became national news. <a href="http://barbesrecords.com/rootsofchicha2.html">The Roots of Chicha 2</a> showcases 11 bands and 16 tracks recorded from 1968 to 1981. This is music at once familiar and exotic - rooted in the changing sounds fostered by the worldwide musical revolution that took place in the late 60’s - yet the music remains oddly timeless. This collection includes such crucial chicha outfits as Grupo Celeste, which had a huge influence on the emergence of Mexican cumbia; Chacalon, the legendary “bad boy” of chicha; Ranil, the doggedly independent folk hero from Iquitos; Manzanita, unheralded yet dazzling; and Los Destellos, whose seminal role in the evolution of chicha is further documented here. ================================== MORE CUMBIAS FROM BARBES RECORDS. <a href="http://barbesrecords.com/VBC.html">VERY BE CAREFUL: ESCAPE ROOM</a> - The Punks of Vallenato from Los Angeles. <a href="http://barbesrecords.com/ChicoTrujillo.html">CHICO TRUJILLO: CHICO DE ORO</a> - Chile's premier Cumbia Band. <a href="http://barbesrecords.com/chicha.html">CHICHA LIBRE: SONIDO AMAZONICO </a>- Chicha made in Brooklyn. ================================== <a href="http://barbesrecords.com">www.barbesrecords.com </a> You may automatically unsubscribe from this list at any time by visiting the following URL: <a href="http://barbesbrooklyn.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/u/BR_retail/"> http://barbesbrooklyn.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/u/BR_retail/ </a>

<a href="http://barbesrecords.com/">NEW RELEASE FROM BARBES RECORDS</a> <a href="http://barbesrecords.com/LRDN.html">LAS RUBIAS DEL NORTE - ZIGUALA. In stores March 12th</a> With their third album, Ziguala Las Rubias del Norte ask: What would the world sound like if rock 'n' roll had never happened? From the 1930's through the 1950's, Latin music dominated popular music around the world. Mambos and rumbas found their way in the pop hits of Shanghai, Bollywood, Constantinople, Malaysia, France and Japan. Then came Rock and Roll which would conquer the youth of the world - and nothing was ever the same. Las Rubias del Norte's third album, Ziguala, is an attempt to imagine what a pop record would sound like had the Latin influence continued its course without interruption. The album uses electric instruments that defined the rock explosion of the 1960's - such as organs and electric guitars but its arrangements reveal a definite bias for the Latin music it is mostly inspired by. Las Rubias del Norte is a seven piece combo which is fronted by two classically trained singers and backed by bongos, congas, bells, bass, cuatro, electric guitar, piano and organ. On the album, the band also makes use of a string quartet, vibes and marimba. The tracks are re-interpretations of songs from Spain, France, Peru, India, Mexico, Greece, Venezuela, Colombia and Naples. Ziguala is not so much a latin record as it is a pop record that uses a latin vocabulary. Think of it as the opposite of Rock en Español; a Latin genre which uses a rock vocabulary. Ziguala is the Rubias' third album. Their previous albums, Panamericana and Rumba Internationale were featured in such outlets as NPR's Morning Edition, PRI's Studio 360, the LA Times, The NY Times, The New Yorker, A&E. Las Rubias del Norte will be playing the following dates around the time of the release: March 12. New York.
