Wonderwheel mainstay Chancha Via Circuito (aka Pedro Canale) introduces his fifth full-length with its first single, “El pavo real,” featuring the Meridian Brothers (aka Eblis Álvarez). Cutting his teeth early at Buenos Aires’s legendary ZZK digital cumbia parties, Chancha became known worldwide as the originator of the cumbia-inspired electronic music that takes cues from environmental sounds and South American folkloric traditions. Pedro’s musical progeny include names such as Nicola Cruz, El Búho, Dengue Dengue Dengue, King Coya and more.

“El pavo real” (or “the peacock” in English) is rooted in the now-familiar chug-chug of a dembow beat, made increasingly complex with the addition of further polyrhythmic percussion; the main melodic motif is initially played on a buzzy synth - a sonic prelude to the accompanying strings that join later in the song - adding yet another layer. It’s in this layering that Pedro’s true mastery shines: If one tries to isolate the individual sounds and rhythms, the incredible complexity is apparent, and yet, taken as a whole, everything melts together in a seamless sway of movement and melody. 

Providing vocals is Eblis Álvarez, the academy-trained Colombian singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist of the acclaimed Meridian Brothers (really more of a solo project than a band, as the moniker might suggest). Alvarez, recently hailed in a longform article by the New York Times, sings about the titular peacock in lilting Spanish, at times stretching out the vowels in question. It’s the perfect addition to an already great song, and the collaboration of two of Latin America’s foremost innovative artists places “El pavo real” in rarified air.

“El pavo real” is out on Brooklyn’s Wonderwheel Recordings September 30th, 2022, with an album to follow later in the Fall.

Chancha Via Circuito - El pavo real (feat. Meridian Brothers)

Suena el rio crecido
Que va bajando a contratiempo
Siente en cada latido
Fuerza del río
Golpe del viento

Viene bajando el rio
Rio crecido a contratiempo
Siente en cada latido
Fuerza del río
Golpe del viento

Suena Suena
Al golpe del contratiempo
Bajando Va
Acompañado del viento
Hay que escuchar
Al cascabel resonando
Que va que va
Serpiente de Agua bajando

Ikaro De Las Tribus - Hermanos de Melodias (Lagartijeando Remix)

The first single from Ayni, El Búho’s exciting new collaboration series, brings together the British producer and Spanish vocalist Alex Serra in a long-awaited, harmonious collaboration. Both artists share a deep-rooted connection to nature, spirituality, and a fusion of electronic and acoustic sounds. The duo first crossed paths performing in Hamburg, and their mutual admiration blossomed into this project. It began when El Búho sent a rough dub idea, inspiring Alex to write and add his captivating lyrics. After several creative exchanges, the track was polished with masterful dub mixing from Serra’s long-term collaborator, Toti Dub.

This track is a rich slice of deep-dub, reminiscent of Rhythm & Sound, with Serra’s hauntingly beautiful vocals floating effortlessly above Perkins’ meticulously crafted organic dub production. Layered with horns, bird calls, sparkling hi-hats, and drenched in warm reverb and delay, the song captures the essence of a misty dawn over Central America’s Pacific coast, where lush green mountains plunge into the crashing waves of the ocean.

“Vidita” EP (Global Hybrid Records / 42 Records) is a taste of the new album by Go Dugong (Italian producer based in Milan), coming out in March 2018. A global music devotee, Go Dugong continues a journey, started with “Novanta” (42 Records / Fresh Yo!) in 2015, through exotic sounds, passing from Africa to Latin America, always trying to mix instead of embracing a prede ned genre. If the topic of “Novanta” was that of the metropolitan cultural clash, this album was born with the aim to dig deeper and nd its roots. 

The inspiration comes from the enchantment of the rst civilizations, whose myths and legends are inevitably linked to nature and the universe; This generates songs inspired by tribal beliefs, mythological gures, rituals and esotericism which, not by chance, often refer to divinities or superior civilizations arrived from outer space. The result is again a hybrid of rhythms, styles and musical genres: Afro, Andean and Amazonian music, dub, psychedelic and cosmic blend with the aim of telling a journey; Go Dugong’s research leitmotiv. 

The single “Vidita” is a tribute to the folk music of the Argentine Northwest; the wild song of the Andes is played by Miriam García, Argentinean musician and actress as well as one of the greatest researchers and performers of coplas, poetic compositions...  more
