Peruvian psychedelic cumbia players Bareto dive almost as deep into Jamaican reggae as they do the forests of Peru. Host Marco Werman exits the show with new sounds from Peruvian septet Bareto, a forest jam from this past summer commemorating Peru’s bicentennial, and the title track from their new recording “Cumbia Circular.”
