    • 1. ¡Cumbéalo!
    • 2. Bu-Gu-Luz

    The Poets of Rhythm successfully take that ultra gritty realism into styles of West African Funk, Ethiopian Groove, and now, for the first time on record, Afro-Peruvian Cumbia. Led by drummer / multi-instrumentalist Max Weissenfeldt and Peruvian guitarist Alex Mendoza, this new iteration of the Poets blitzes its way through two original takes on the sound of cumbia.
