For this week’s Free Basin’ Fridays, we’re hooking up with our friends at Masstropicas to giveaway a copy of this superb (and SUPER LIMTED) slice of Peruvian cumbia: Los Jharis D Ñaña’s Los Creadors Del Sonido De La Carretera Central. Masstropicas have made a name for themselves by digging deep in South America and discovering some of the most mind blowing cumbia ever put to tape. Read this interview we did with them last year here.
So here’s your chance to pick up a copy of their latest release. Limited edition, one-time pressing of 500 copies (with a bonus 7″ single!!) sporting homemade hand stamped labels with an insert featuring liner notes, rare photos and words from Los Jharis’ main man Teo Laura! Read more about the record here but for your chance to win a copy, send us some love in a comment below with your name and email address (kept private) and we’ll pick a winner at random next Friday, 5/4 at 12PM pst!

Peruvian Cumbia – SWOOOOOOOOOOOON. Beautiful, mellow stuff. Thanks for The LHI Years so early in the post – fantastic release!
Just recently got into Cumbia after hearing the Domino Sound cassette “Cumbia Discos Fuentes ” and would love to hear more!
Many thanks!
Looks AWESOME! ps. I just bought the cool aid benefit from WS Easy Street
anyone check out the Masstropicas cassette-only releases? really great stuff. wonderful label
It is never too late for Cumbia.
One can drive all the way across America listening to Cumbia.
North or South, Texas or elsewhere.
awesome music! i hope i win this time!
All the Masstropicas releases I’ve been able to hunt down have been awesome.
Oh man. This would satisfy an itch that I can’t scratch.
Mind you, my turntable is being dominated by the Stax boxset at the moment. It’ll take something really special to dislodge it. Is this it??
ola! el diablo me donde esta sombrero!
First things first. The guy hitting the pipe at the top of this page looks like Mark Sandman. LITA, please bring us some more Morphine on vinyl! Ok, I had a friend who visited Peru and as he knows that I love music more than most anything, he brought back a gift of Peruvian music for me. Sweet baby Jesus. GOOD. Thanks for dropping some awesome chit at silver platters on RSD. Fingers are crossed.
Quincy, that is definitely not Mark Sandman, nor based on his image. More Morphine vinyl? maybe!
Id love to blast this out over the airwaves! I need a copy!
