Pedro's musical progeny include names such as Nicola Cruz, El Búho, Dengue Dengue Dengue, King Coya and many more.\n\n\nTexturally rich and highly emotive, the album spans 11 songs that meander between lush instrumental soundscapes and upbeat vocal numbers, all tied together by Chancha's signature production style. \"La Estrella\" - meaning \"the star\" in Spanish - opens with \"Dandeleon,\" which plays like a meditation of fluttering vocalesque pads and sonorous bass; while Pedro is joined by the acclaimed Argentinian trio Fémina on \"Cometa,\" where his refined beat offers an ideal space for the three singers' voices to inhabit. \"Cometa\" (\"comet\") also furthers the album's celestial themes, which also touch on spirituality, love, ephemerality, and nature.

Chancha's sound is without question truly unique and instantly recognizable, to the point he has become a key reference point for an entire generation of artists.\n\n\nHailed by the Washington Post, the New York Times, Pitchfork, NPR and countless others, he is, on one hand, something of a cult artist within micro-circles of electronic music, having been invited to perform at Montreal's MUTEK as well as the Roskilde and Vive Latino Festivals. At the same time, Chancha's music has found broad appeal outside of the avant-garde, most notably his magnificent remix of José Larralde's \"Quimey Neuquén,\" which was heavily featured in 2013 as part of the final season of the critically acclaimed television series Breaking Bad. Fans of the show undoubtedly remember Walter White burying his millions in the desert, soundtracked by the wide and gentle grooves of Chancha Vía Circuito.\n\n\nAmansara is a natural progression of Chancha's special strain of electronic South America. Lead single \"Coplita'' features the haunting vocals of previous collaborator Miram Garcia, while \"Sueno En Paraguay\" merges Andean folklore sounds with bleeps and blips and pounding drums in a way that sounds completely natural and ordained. \"Jardines'' features the driving vocals of Lido Pimienta merging with heavy synths, percussion and bells into an unforgettable track, while both \"Tarocchi\" and \"Guajaca\" ramp things up into deep, electronic dancefloor-in-a-rainforest territory.\n\n\nArt for Amansara comes from Argentinian psychedelic folklore painter Paula Duro who has crafted the look of all of Chancha's previous releases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wonderwheel","offers":[{"title":"LP.","offer_id":50434563932491,"sku":"2056353","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_d8ddd9fb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726891475"},{"product_id":"tenalach","title":"Tenalach","description":"\u003cp\u003e“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 first collaborative EP “Pleamar” (Wonderwheel Recordings 2020) Chancha Via Circuito y El Búho 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 Cururú, birds float above strobing synths on Oropéndola 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 reflects a darker side to the pair’s music, a sub-conscious reflection 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shika Shika","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":50448284320075,"sku":"2219457","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201374984413_89ca997a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727089082"},{"product_id":"la-estrella","title":"La Estrella","description":"\u003cp\u003eArgentinian artist Chancha Via Circuito (aka Pedro Canale) makes his return to Wonderwheel Recordings with his fifth full length: \"La Estrella.\" Cutting his teeth early at Buenos Aires's legendary ZZK digital cumbia parties, the Chancha moniker became known worldwide as the originator of the cumbia-inspired electronic music that takes cues from environmental sounds and South American folkloric traditions.
