"Tenalach - The relationship with the land, the sky, the water and the deep connection that allows you to hear the earth sing and be one with nature" 
- Following on from their many mutual remixes and frst collaborative EP 
"Pleamar" (Wonderwheel Recordings 2020) Chancha Via Circuito y El Buho return with a new EP "Tenalach" which sees the duo enter new territories and soundscapes - This mysterious, atmospheric and melancholic EP is like the soundtrack to a videogame that takes place in a strange and wonderful parallel universe

Imagine Zelda set in the jungles and mountains of Latin America.

Croaking frogs sit next to driving snares on the genre-defying Sapo Cururu, birds foat above strobing synths on Oropendola while Sumay's epic synth lines melt into Chancha's trademark percussions on Sumay. Opener El Samurai is perhaps the closest to the pair's well- known folktronic sound, marrying cowbells with bowing violins and its animal-esque synth line.

While the BPM may have risen, this is neither 'downtempo' nor 'umtempo' and an EP that cannot easily be pigeon-holed - it is fresh and original. It also refects a darker side to the pair's music, a sub-conscious refection of a changing world, holding in each song a constant tension and the desire to escape to new realities where the connection between humans and nature is blurred and equal.

Tracks: El Samurai / Sapo Cururu / Oropendola / Sumay / Tail Ends
