Producers Behind the Pack: El Dusty & Beto Martinez
This Chicha music sample pack is the first collaboration between El Dusty, known for his previous releases such as Coastal Vibes Reggaeton and Sounds of Cumbia: El Dusty, and Beto Martinez, famed for his work with the Grammy-winning Grupo Fantasma and Money Chicha. Together, they crafted this pack in Austin, TX – a thriving hub for Latinx music and culture.

Chicha’s Unique Sound
Unlike traditional cumbia, Chicha’s harmonics are based on the pentatonic scale typical of Andean music, often played with keyboards or synthesizers, and sometimes up to three electric guitars. These guitars play simultaneous melodies, a technique inspired by the harp and guitar lines of Andean huayno. The rhythmic upstrokes of electric guitar follow patterns derived from Peruvian coastal creole waltz. The genre also features electric guitar solos, drawing from rock music traditions, making it a perfect blend of tropical, psychedelic, and surf influences.

Authentic Gear, Classic Sound
El Dusty and Beto Martinez used vintage gear and instruments to recreate the distinct sound of 1960s Peruvian Chicha music with remarkable accuracy. If you’re looking to add authentic groovy, tropical surf vibes to your productions, this pack offers all the authentic sounds and vibes of classic Chicha music.
