It's that time of year again — and I can't believe that I've never published this truly iconic song by Álvarez Guedes. So, it's now or... the next New Year Eve, at least. I prefer now though. Here it is: Cada vez que pienso en ti.

...is Cumbia Picaflor, from the new album Picaflor by Argentine percussionist and composer Martin Bruhn. From the album's blurb on BandCamp:
Filled with colour and festivity, this new release takes us on a journey to Peru’s Mantaro region and is a heartfelt homage to the Huanca music and culture. Recorded during the first year of the pandemic in Martin’s home studio, it has a beautifully simple, almost Lo-Fi aesthetic to it, which pays tribute to and resembles the original vinyl recordings of the andean region’s huayno orchestras.
