Words By Oonga...
These are some of the very first tracks I made after I was shown this downtempo psychedelic cumbia sound, which I called "espera" because it is full of waiting for builds, it has a lot of hopeful elements in the music, and it is part of a universal sound connecting widely disparate cultures.

I was introduced to the sound by the man himself Khalil.M at an afterparty, and I found it very intriguing. A year later, I got to DJ at the Cosmic Convergence festival in Guatemala, which gave me the chance to experience the epic Matanza live set at midnight on New Year’s, and then Barrio Lindo the next morning. It was after that, and a full moon party with Mose Cagen, that I started to play around with these sounds. These songs are some of the first ones I made.
