Influenced by Los Mirlos, Chacalón, Los Destellos, Los Wembler's de Iquitos, Dick Dale. Elías Cardenal drives a moto-taxi through the sweltering streets of Iquitos, Peru, and turns the stories he overhears into psychedelic chicha-cumbia. Raised in the riverside district of Belén, his music is steeped in the Amazon's humid energy, played on a beat-up 70s guitar he calls 'La Eléctrica'. These are dance songs for the heartbroken, tales of working-class life from a city you can only get to by river or by air.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Río Itaya, en tu orilla dejé mi moto anoche,
el motor aún caliente olía a mal presagio.
La llevé por Próspero, el jueves a las siete,
y su voz por el fono era un cable pelado.

[Chorus]
Y ahora que gané, dime por qué se siente
como tragar vidrio con agua del río.
Hice lo correcto, me dice la gente,
pero el corazón de Toño está enchufado al frío.

[Verse 2]
“Mi amor, ya voy llegando”, le susurró a la nada
mientras su pantalla brillaba con otro nombre.
La corriente sabe la verdad callada,
y yo fui la piraña que mordió a ese pobre hombre.

[Bridge]
La corriente sabe...
La corriente sabe...
Sabe y calla...
Sabe y calla...

[Chorus]
Y ahora que gané, dime por qué se siente
como tragar vidrio con agua del río.
Hice lo correcto, me dice la gente,
pero el corazón de Toño está enchufado al frío.

[Outro]
Río Itaya, en tu orilla sigo aquí esta noche,
esperando que tu barro me limpie el pellejo.
