El Gran Poder plucked Zundel from his small town of Dolores in Argentina and catapulted his sound onto a global stage.

Jallalla is a word used in Bolivia to celebrate something- and it’s a word that strengthens in meaning when more people say it together. Jallalla is an entire life in an album - beginning with what would be the sonic representation of pulling back reeds to discover a new path with the song Villazon-Potosi and its sparse electronic percussion gradually filled in with curiosity-giving winds. Following is joyful charango riff that becomes the base for the track La Frontera, which features the sweet, wispy voice of Minük, the Colombian artist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlejandra Ortiz, known as half of the duo Lulacruza. As the album progresses, it becomes more experimental with electronic elements, sneaking in bits of deep house and dub. The fourth track is called Caña, and is a collaboration with none other than Chancha Via Circuito. It’s minimal and haunting, playing with repetitive bass, chimes, and what sounds like owl sounds. Zundel’s beloved charango sneaks back in via the next track, Adios Potosi, continuing the trek with a sweet melodic mid-album break. On the track A Todo Pai, one that celebrates Latin American identity (a todo pai, un solo maiz, repeats the song), Zundel collaborates with Javier Arce - lead singer of the Costa Rican indie-funk band Cocofunka, whose peculiar and infectious voice adds new layers onto the album. The last few songs are a mix of meditative electronic tracks and life-giving dance-floor ready numbers, all lending to Jallalla being a celebration of life and the various adventures it contains.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wonderwheelrecordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50250102047012,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/8842\/5764\/files\/0035325523_10.jpg?v=1736286735"},{"product_id":"lagartijeando-7-caminos-lp","title":"Lagartijeando - \"7 Caminos\" LP","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e*ATTN: International Customers, lower shipping rates available on Bandcamp*\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lagartijeando.bandcamp.com\/album\/7-caminos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ehttps:\/\/lagartijeando.bandcamp.com\/album\/7-caminos\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" class=\"TextRun SCXW260370792 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW260370792 BCX0\"\u003eMati Zundel aka \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"SpellingError SCXW260370792 BCX0\"\u003eLagartijeando\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW260370792 BCX0\"\u003e returns to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"SpellingError SCXW260370792 BCX0\"\u003eWonderwheel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW260370792 BCX0\"\u003e with his new album 7 Caminos, representing the paths of choices in life that shape our destiny.
