David Wax Museum Live on The Dinner Party

After Mexo-Americana band David Wax Museum dropped by to tape their “Guest List” segment last week, they graced us with an in-studio performance of the son jarocho folk tune “Chuchumbe.” According to Paste magazine, this little number was discovered in an archive 25 years ago, centuries after being banned by the Catholic church… but listening is probably the toe-tappingest heresy in which you’ll ever engage.



DWM’s album “Knock Knock Get Up” comes out September 4th.

    Hi!

    Thanks for writing. The songs are usually listed at the bottom of our episode page. (I know, it’s annoying to find…We’re hopefully going to be redesigning soon so that they’re easier to locate.) Anyway, here they are:

    http://www.publicradio.org/columns/dinnerpartydownload/2012/08/episode-163.html

    The Low Anthem - “Sally Where’d You Get Your Liquor From?” (from the 7” Charlie Darwin) Eric Royer - “Train on the Island” Carolina Chocolate Drops - “Cornbread & Butterbeans” David Wax Museum - “Chuchumbe”

    All the best, Jackson

    I agree with mb above me. I would like a list of the bands and songs that they mentioned during their unique instrument conversation.
