V/A "Nueva Cumbia Argentina: The Buenos Aires Implosion" 12" (Soot) Rupture's new Soot imprint packs a punch with this Argentinian cumbia compilation which benefits from very nice production and remixing, fitting 4 tracks onto a 45 rpm 12". Alika, Princesa and Los Destellos are remixed by Hijo de la Cumbia, Chancha Via Circuito, Sonido Martinez w/ Fefe and Marcelo Fabian. While the traditional elements of acoustic guitars and tom drums are the focus, Princesa's vocals bring a reggaeton sound into the fray and overall, there's a newness in the simplicity of the sound on this comp. It will transcend what many, myself included, think of cumbia. If you're a fan of Rupture's mixes and Soot, this will excite you, guaranteed!
