Product Details

Chuck Prophet has been one of San Francisco's most vital rock and roll voices since his days in Green on Red, and his instinct to follow the music that moves him, wherever it leads, has always been his greatest strength. Finding that spark in the cumbia scene during one of the harder stretches of his life says everything about who he is as an artist. This one hits different knowing what it took to get here.

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.
