CHICHA is the name of a corn-based liquor favored by the Incas in pre-colombian days. Chicha is also the name of a South American music craze which started out in the late 60’s in the Peruvian Amazon. Cumbias amazonicas, as they were first called, were loosely inspired by Colombian accordion-driven cumbias but soon incorporated the distinctive sounds of Andean melodies, some Cuban son, and the psychedelic sounds of surf guitars, farfisa organs and moog synthesizers. The group draws its personnel from Barbes regulars Bebe Eiffel, One Ring Zero and Las Rubias del norte.

Stumbled across the Chichas browsing the Crammed Label music on emusic. Really amazed at the range of their work and influences, Gnossienne is similar to Family Fodder's Big Dig both songs are great arrangements of the original Satie classical work. Buy this now these guys deserve the money can't wait to see them live.
