The long-awaited third album from Chancha Via Circuito is here! The Argentinian producer gave us a taste with the Coplita 7", but here is the full dose in all it's South American folk-tronic splendor. Amansara is a journey through South America's diverse native sounds - from Cumbia, Brazilian rhythms, Paraguayan harp, and Argentian folk - fused with a panoramic psychedelic vision that is uniquely Chancha. Check the sound on the mystic "Hola," "Sueno En Paraguay," the dub tinged "Tarocchi," "Coroico," and the gentle "De Tu Mano." Truly a melting pot of styles, and a wondrous treat for thirsty ears.
