Chupacabra



   Discos Resaca Collective and Mariposas del Alma have new music out now.  Their album ‘Y Te Cuento’ has 11 amazing grooves you need to hear ASAP. 

   The Oakland, CA group plays amazing cumbias infuenced by the sonidero style as well as the Bay Area music scene.  The percussion heavy band throws down some awesome beats to keep you dancing.  The accordion and synthesizer fueled jams are sure to brighten your day.  If you’re tired of hearing Grupo Kual over and over on the radio but want a independent act with similar flare check out this album. 

   Some of my favorites are ‘Chupacabra’ and ‘Movimiento De Cumbia.’  They just released a superb music video for their song ‘Chupacabra.’  The catchy accordion filled sonidero is about dancing with the mischievous legendary chupacabra, and is animated in a lovely 8bit retro video game aesthetic.  Don’t miss this one.  

   Make sure to download this album.  These are some amazing summer hits.  Learn more by visiting their site and listen on Spotify!
