Latin-influenced art-pop group ChuCha Santamaria were featured on the cover of the East Bay Express for the February 29th issue. If you missed picking up a physical copy, you can still read the overwhelmingly positive article online. Here's a snippet from the piece by Ellen Cushing describing how the band came into existence: Kirkland happened to have an old synthesizer lying around, so [lead singer Sofia] Córdova fed him some abstract ideas as to what she'd like the song to sound like — "palm [...]

[ download ] [tweetmeme] Chucha Santamaria y Usted don’t just have one of the longest names in the indie community, they back up those letters with musical heft. “Fiebre Tropical” clocks in at only 2:40, yet it more than justifies the length of their moniker. “Fiebre Tropical” is the first single from Chucha Santamaria y Usted’s self-titled debut mini LP , which the Austin boutique label Young Cubs released in June. Though their sound encompasses that of an entire ensemble, Chucha Santamaria y [...]

Download Oakland duo ChuCha Santamaria Y Usted’s loud electroclash version of forgotten Lene Lovich song ‘Home.’
I whip my hair back and forth. Not because I am a teenage girl (although I sometimes act like one) but because there is a party. No, it's not in my pants. This party is in my ears, and soon it will be in yours as well. I am pleased to present to you The Indie Sabbath - more refreshing than an ice-cold soda in the middle of the desert. For me, music is the purest form of communication this world has to offer. I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. [...]

When you are in the depths of Winter it can feel as if Spring will never arrive, and yet here we are, with the weather growing warmer, the days becoming longer and the skies often seeming bluer. We're riding bicycles through city streets, planning camping trips with friends, drinking beers while watching baseball games and going on long hikes through the hills. It's a good time of year. A lot of the music that I've been obsessing over speaks to the change in the season too. By and large these aren't songs for a day at a beach, which isn't [...]

Chucha Santamaria Y Usted - "Fiebre Tropical" Sofía Córdova and Matthew Kirkland are Chucha Santamaria Y Usted , an Oakland duo crafting forward-thinking electronic dance-pop that confronts ideas bigger than just getting people moving: The concept for the album was born out of a general dissatisfaction with the conventions of art making while Sofía pursued an MFA degree during her last year in grad school. The album, which serves to chronicle various Caribbean histories ranging from the ‘discovery’ of Puerto Rico in 1492 ("Fiebre Tropical") to personal [...]
Chucha Santamaria Y Usted - "Fiebre Tropical" There's something indirectly hypnotic about singer Sofia Córdova's cadence throughout "Fiebre Tropical" (ex. at 0:45, 1:16); her voice consumes your attention, almost as if it was the onset of a fever. Although it begins and ends with a celestial ambiance, the core of the song is filled with an ominous sound that balances light and dark -- light enough to dance to and dark enough to possess a bit of a mystique. The song is said to be about the discovery of Puerto Rico in [...]
Originally hailing from Puerto Rico and New York respectively, Chucha Santamaria Y Usted is a duo based in Oakland, CA consisting of Sofía Córdova and Matthew Kirkland. After a mutual discovery/re-appreciation of Italo disco, Latin freestyle, and a myriad other pop dance sub-genres Matt and Sofia created a band in an effort not only to have fun but a device in which they could revisit the history of dance music. Sounding like the perfect replacement for Bonde Do Role, this dynamic duo creates sexy Latin tinged electro floor burners that [...]
