• The low-slung mountains and rural villages of eastern El Salvador are home to one of the most joyous yet little-known regional musics of Latin America, called chanchona-- big pig – the local name for the string bass.

• When the family group Los Hermanos Lovo fled the civil war they took their homegrown music with them to Washington DC. There the lively sounds of the Cumbria are as much an invitation to dance as a way of creating a sense of home and cultural solidarity.

• Includes 36 page booklet with bilingual notes
