{"product_id":"cuatro-tigres","title":"Cuatro Tigres","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe long running Brooklyn-based collective Chicha Libre counts members from Mexico, France, Venezuela and the US. Taking inspiration from exotic strains of cumbia, this followup to their mostly original tracks on their Canibalismo LP sees the band turning its attention to some well known classics, applying their psychedelic chicha template to the Clash, Arthur Lee’s Love, Los Shapis, and the Danny Eflman theme song to The Simp- sons. Originally released on Record Store Day in 2013, it has been remastered and is available once again on vinyl. With this EP, Chicha Libre was closing a loop – using a sound that was shaped by Peruvian tropical music to pay tribute to its own rockero roots – and to some of its personal heroes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e- \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Clash\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e, who started mixing up global influences before the expression World Music was coined.
