the album cover for Los Hermanos Lovo - Soy Salvadore: Los Hermanos Lovo Chanchona Music From Eastern El Salvador

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—it is music made by and for country people. When the family group Los Hermanos Lovo fled the civil war of the 1980s and 1990s, they took their homegrown music with them to Washington, D.C. There, the lively sounds of the cumbia are as much an invitation to dance as a way of creating a sense of “home” and cultural solidarity.

  2. La Salvadoreña (The Salvadoran Woman)
