It's important to realize that it is difficult being a womxn in this world. Our fire is constantly misunderstood. We're constantly told we're too needy, too emotional, too sensitive. We are taught to hold back our outcries and instead handle our emotions like a "lady" would. This mix is dedicated to chulas that are constantly misunderstood, chulas that are loud, emotional and sensitive, and chulas that sometimes hurt when there's nothing to hurt about. -Claudia Saenz

Hurts when there's nothing to hurt about

SIN FRONTERAS: a Sonido Tambó mix.
mixed & arranged by DJQ (@sinsafos).
curated with @quiahuitlv, @humblelianess & @dirtyverbs.
cover art & design by Mata Ruda.

SIN FRONTERAS is a DJ mix that weaves the many threads of the musical diaspora in the Americas. centering Cumbia as the lengua franca of this diaspora, the mix travels across the continent sonically, reintroducing classics & blending them with contemporary bangers.

SIN FRONTERAS is an attempt to temporarily suspend the socio-political borders placed on us mentally & physically; it’s an attempt to emphasize celebration as an act of resistance & community solidarity.

In the face of militarization of the borderlands, we trust that our art & the art of our peers will help us imagine a continent without borders; a society that isn’t split by dehumanizing legislation; a better world for the youth & the generations to come.

special thank you’s to Club Congress, the International Sonoran Desert Alliance, the National Performance Network, our Friday night patrons, the many soles that have stomped on our dance floor & the magikal city of La Tusa, Arizona.

paz, luz y ritmó.

From RUMBOSYSUSPIROS of #cvcaustin: “When I was thinking about this mix, I was thinking about the way music has the power to communicate even among differences in language, culture, and place. I also thought about storytelling through music and the preservation of traditional instruments in modern sounds.  And of course the general good vibes in music that make us want to dance! This is what came of it. Thanks for listening!”

From LIZZY AL TOQUE of #CVCBayArea: “This mix is dedicated to the Peruvian people, and as a celebration of Afro-Peruvian music and culture, it’s especially dedicated to the Afro-Peruvian community. This mix is also dedicated to Inti Sotelo Camargo and Bryan Pintado Sanchez, two young people who were killed by police while protesting the unjust coup that happened in Peru this November. This is also dedicated to the people who took to the streets for many days, successfully overturning the coup and who continue to march up until now in hopes of rewriting the Peruvian constitution and righting the wrongs of Peru’s past for a better and more just future.

If you would like to donate in support of organizers on the ground in the form of first-aid kits, safety gear, medical expenses, rides home, and more, you may do so at the PUMAS Collective’s Mutual Aid Fund: http://bit.ly/pumasfund 

On the content of this mix: The music in this mix falls into the category of ‘musica criolla’, traditional Peruvian music that contains many genres that span Peru’s Black, Indigenous and Spanish traditions. I especially chose to focus on Afro-Peruvian music and artists, a rich musical tradition, which just a small part of is shared here. See the tracklist for genres. All music in this mix is recorded from vinyl. 

**Content Warning**
From 22:40 to 26:20 is the song El Mayoral. This song discusses life as a Black slave and is a song about calling for a slave revolt.

From 26:20 to 29:10 is the performance of a poem called “Me Llamaron Negra” by activist Victoria Santa Cruz. This poem discusses being discriminated against and being called “black” in a derogatory way on the street.”

From JOANNACHILLS of #CVCRGV: “As difficult as 2020 has been, music was there to be my getaway, my safe space to feel what was needed and keep on. Varying different genres depending on the feels. What else was there to do on a Friday night? Staying home as much as possible was the duty, after all, and the very least we can do to help. Virtual dance parties it was, and these songs got me through it up to now. I hope you enjoy <3

To the Health-care / Front-line workers who were the truest of heroes in this pandemic; thank you, thank you, thank you! You deserve a getaway during these hectic times. I hope this mix can be a kind of getaway for you, for now, to dance and feel good, because you deserve that and so much more.
 
I hope everyone takes care and stays safe. Wear a mask and wash your hands! 2020, Good riddance! ”
