Grupo Jejeje - Grupo Jejeje (2019)

Heavy fresh cumbia from Mexico’s Grupo Jejeje, kicking off California’s Discos Rolas label with 12 tracks of sweltering, heady, slow dance pressure
Leading on from the ‘¡Un Saludo!—Mexican Soundsystem Cumbia In Los Angeles’ put together by Discos Rolas’ Gary “Ganas” Garay and Alexandra “Xandão” Lipmann, the first album from Grupo Jejeje - the duo of Mexican-American Turbo Sonidero and Persian-Brit Arrabalero - draws from hyperlocal, up-to-the-minute styles from central Mexico, namely Puebla and San Luis Potosí, and cumber editada, for a fiercely colourful, playful and infectious album bound to bring on your hip replacement by a few decades.
