Systema Solar: Bienvenidos

Can't. Stop. Dancing.

Bienvenidos a the magical world in which this crazy-ass music exists. Systema Solar combines cumbia, electro, hip hop, and several Afro-Caribbean genres that I've never heard of, including bullerengue, porro and champeta according to the band's website. Their mode of transport is a donkey-pulled mobile sound system/party generator which they ride through the streets of a Colombian city on the Caribbean coast. The trailing parade of dancers quickly grows. Before long, the party becomes too incredible for just one planet and spreads to outer space.

Their 2009 debut Systema Solar is available on eMusic. I just downloaded it!
