DJs! Special Guests! Live Video Art! Canibalismo!

Chicha Libre is a Brooklyn collective made up of French, American, Venezuelan and Mexican musicians who play a mixture of Latin rhythms and psychedelia. Chicha refers to Peru’s particular brand of electric cumbia first made popular in the late '60s in Lima and the Amazon. While loosely inspired by Colombian cumbia, chicha incorporated Peruvian melodies, psychedelic effects, some Cuban son and everything in between—an oddly post-modern combination that was close in spirit to the Congolese rumba of Franco or the pop syncretism of Os Mutantes.

While Chicha Libre's new album, Canibalismo (out May 8, Barbès in the US and Crammed Disc worldwide) is inspired by the Peruvian Chicha explosion of the 70's, it also looks back to the Cultural Cannibalism dear to the Brazilian tropicalists and the production values of late 1960’s rock bands. The group still pays homage to the likes of Ranil and Los Mirlos, but mixes it up even more by combining mellotron and other vintage synths with African guitars, treated percussion, fuzztone and some R.D Burmans inspired arrangements.
