Chuck's first album in 4 years is inspired by the cumbia bands he saw at San Francisco clubs in the pandemic's aftermath, while undergoing cancer treatment. The music was a source of joy, during a dark time.  He started playing with Qiensave a cumbia band based in Salinas, CA. 

The result is 11 new Chuck Prophet songs wrapped in a cumbia shell.  The latin rhythms & chord progressions merge with Chuck's signature song styles to create something new that defies genre, but is undeniably joyful.
