Posting this one up a little late. I’ve been checking the output of 77Klash for a minute, but I’m undecided on this one. Two great tastes that taste great together? Or just a bunch of stuff that happened? Can you really argue with a dude who named himself after one of the greatest reggae songs/albums of all time?
You be the judge.
DJ LIL TIGER starts things off with a love-themed Soul set with splashes of classic disco and contemporary R&B. EMPANADAMN holds it down in the second half with a mesh of synthy dance, pop, Hip-Hop and electro.

Hmmm… the track is ok. But a better dancehallish x cumbia attempt would be Celso Pina’s megamegamegahit of a few years back, “Cumbia Sobre El Rio“

You’re missing the point, it’s really about hipster cultural appropriation. Are these dude (Noble Society) really trying to do more than steal a sound? Are there no real Cumbianos in NYC? I doubt that. They’re going out of their way to avoid the recreate the culture outside of it’s OG context. All I’m saying bruh.

I’m supposed to go see this tonight. I’ll report and let you know if they have heavy matching outfits with heavy embroidery over fishnet shirts, fierce accordian playing with boggle action, and if there’s any implementation of gritos over airhorns, BOH!s or gunshots. Lawdamercy.
