By the way, I have more on &lt;em&gt;cumbia amazónica&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://singingtotheplants.blogspot.com/2007/12/tigress-of-jungle.html&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://singingtotheplants.blogspot.com/2009/03/festival-de-la-selva-peruana.html&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

		<description>Hi, great piece. Please don&#039;t miss out on the band Chicha Libre--we are carrying on the tradition of this Cumbia Amazonica music, here in New York--with national/international tours coming up in summer 2009.  Hope to see you there.  Our CD is called Sonido Amazonico, and it is also on Barbès Records.  Cheers, Greg B</description>

		<description>I am trying to finish my earlier comment, in the meantime:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am big fan of Sonidero style!&lt;br/&gt;The same countercultural process has taken place in various parts of Latin America and slowly contributing to the healthy perception of the indigenous roots of the continent. I can think of the movements started by groups like Botellita de Jerez in Mexico,El Polen in Peru and Imperio Diablo in Argentina. These groups arranged concepts and titles of music, and people into a form that was fun and accepted by the lower classes. That is how punk turned into Tezcatlipunk, To be Aymara mean to be made of steel, and to be indigenous meant strength. These rhythms are part of the life or the barrios bravos, the ghettos and favelas,etc. In Argentina Cumbia Villera has been mixing with reggae and rap lately. In Mexico Jaguares, an all time favorite rock group has constantly sang about respect to the earth and brought Maya healers to send prayers in the middle of their concerts, in the US B-Side players sing &quot;Mexica Reggae with a working visa&quot;. The music and the groups not only connect people back to their traditions, they also help the working people (la gente del pueblo) to have hope, and party their hearts out.&lt;br/&gt;Cuuuuummbiaaa!!!!</description>
