Acosta, Pancho/ Money Chicha
Egyptian Reggae/carnaval De Jujuy
Jonathan Richmans classic 'Egyptian Reggae' has been responsible for setting thousands of discerning dance floors on fire. After getting the obvious Jah twist on a few occasions, so we thought it was about time for the Richmans song to receive a fun yet respectful cumbia treatment! This cumbia candy has been recorded in Lima by no other than Pancho Acosta, founder and guitarist of Compay Quinto, and one of the greatest cumbia guitar players in Peru. On the flip side we find one of Acostas own original songs, 'Carnaval de Jujuy', recorded by Austin-based future-cumbia group Money Chicha.
