Here’s a mix from the cold gray streets of midwinter New York. Some hot-ass cumbia jams to get ourselves out of the doldrums, and to play for your Argentine-Mexican hostel bitties to show them just how cool your New York friends are. Grab it now, before cumbia becomes this year’s bailefunk.

…to those that cry “but nobody dances in new york!” and stand stuck to the wall like an overcooked string of spaghetti, to the guys wearing purple diagonal-striped oxfords and belligerently begging for a cigarette, to the waitress ruining an awesome chicha night of dancing by passive-aggressively demanding a so-called suggested donation, to those that know that a napkin and pen are always better than a cell phone for taking down someone’s number, and to friends in other cities that I miss the shit out of.
