Chucks erstes Album seit 4 Jahren ist inspiriert von den Cumbia-Bands, die er in den Clubs von San Francisco nach der Pandemie sah, während er sich einer Krebsbehandlung unterzog. Die Musik war eine Quelle der Freude in einer dunklen Zeit. Er begann mit ¿Qiensave? zu spielen, einer Cumbia-Band aus Salinas, CA. Das Ergebnis sind 11 neue Chuck Prophet-Songs in einer Cumbia-Hülle verpackt. Die lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und Akkordfolgen verschmelzen mit Chucks unverkennbarem Song-Stil zu etwas Neuem, das sich dem Genre entzieht, aber unbestreitbar fröhlich ist. -
