about

Brooklyn-based purveyors of cumbia and surf have teamed with Petru Bîrlădeanu & Obeah for some psychedelic cumbia dub via Brooklyn & Transylvania.

„I still remember when I heard Ozomatli’s Cumbia de Los Muertos with Chali 2na. And then from the first time guitar player Sam Day Harmet has played me Cumbia Chuska I was hooked. These guys have inspired me to channel my Transylvanian dub energy toward latin American sounds that I love like cumbia. I had to add some of the Ethereal vocals and some poetry to the mix.

Enjoy what is probably me and Petru’s most bass heavy dance tune. Hopefully it will ring and echo for a long time in the ears of cumbia lovers but also shake some feet on the dancefloor where it belongs.” Obeah
