Video Selecter: Chicha Libre Brooklyn's Psychedelic Cumberos Return With Canibalismo by Tom Pryor

Each week Nat Geo Music scours the far reaches of the internet to bring you the coolest new videos from around the globe.

This week we didn't have to look any further than our own backyard for a brand new video from one of our favorite Brooklyn bands: Chicha Libre.

For those who still don't know, Chicha Libre is a homegrown Latin band that specializes in the psychedelic chicha music of Peru - a guitar-heavy, accordion-driven sound that grew out of the collision of Colombian cumbia with the local chicha corn liquor brewed up in the Peruvian Amazon back in the '60s and '70s.

The band itself was born out of co-founder Olivier Conan's obsession with this rollicking sound - and the dozens of cassettes he brought back with him - after a trip to Peru. The band released its first album, Sonido Amazonico to critical acclaim in 2008 and have been going strong ever since. This month will mark the release of Chicha Libre's third album, Canibalismo, released on the Barbes/Crammed Disc label.

The song featured here - "La Plata" - was written by Joshua Camp and is the opening track on Canibalismo. The video itself was shot by Olivier Conan on an Iphone in Montevideo, Cordoba and Buenos Aires during a recent South American tour.

The album takes its title from a 1928 essay by Oswald de Andrade, author of a 1928 essay, which said that "Only [cultural] Cannibalism unites us. Socially. Economically. Philosophically. The unique law of the world."

It's a fitting metaphor for these musical loco/omnivores - making music locally and thinking globally.

Enjoy!
