D7001 - Sylvia De Grasse - El Chicotazo b/w Matando Los Chivos
An absolute BANGER from Ms. De Grasse’s 1959 LP “La Cita”.
I first got hip to her a few years ago on the @Panama45s account on instagram a few years ago with the title track from that album and was instantly taken with her voice- it’s fucking killer. And not that it matters, but she happens to have been stunning as well. I found a copy that’s been in heavy rotation ever since at my house and found myself wishing that I had El Chicotazo on 7 inch. She was one of the first on my long list of dream 7s to put out, and I can’t front; I got a little emotional when I heard back from the amazing folks at Ansonia Records that they were willing to work with me on this. Liza and Souraya you two are awesome. What an absolute treat to have this record be the first release in the Devin’s 7s catalog.
The flip side is Matando Los Chivos, another smash hit in my opinion. A very similar rhythm but a slightly different vibe, and would probably mix very well, should you be so inclined to do so.
I’m linking to Sylvia’s Bandcamp page below. Check her out, check Ansonia out, and cop more dope music from their sick-ass catalog. Good people and good music.
Limited run of 500 copies.
