Do you remember what we've told you yesterday?
yepp, the cumbia is all over part
here is the prove

The Peronists, wicked experimental cumbia from Argentina just showed us this gem. This is a real double twist, cos Federico not only covered the Mario Bros Theme, but he did it in cumbia style!!! Two of our fave things (besides porn) in one track, OMG!! And the top of all these this is the WORLD PREMIER and an exclusive download here on APC. So here is the perfect way to start the weekend. Turn this loud, get your NES or other consoles with Mario games and freak out. Make sure to visit The Peronists myspace to say muchas gracias Federico! THX for making the world a better place with cumbia powwa!

Playa Blanca – Sweet Cumbia Selection
[mp3 AudioPorn FM]

You better believe what we say folks. We told you that the cumbia is taking over and look its all over now. This mix is one of the finest mixtapes we heard in this style and it comes from Poland! Not a typical South American country ;) Funklore, the guy who made the mix is a digger, club and radio selector (dj) based in Krakow/Poland. His main concern are the Tropical and Oriental Soundscapes, Afrobeat, Vintage Disco and DUB! As a sound artist and multi-instrumentalist he's one third of an electro-acustic project Trepang. Together with Kornelia Binicewicz he's the main force behind Music and World Documentary film festival. You see, cumbia is all over, we can't be happier. Here is the mix and the tracklist after the jump.
