Sabo & Cassady, “Kuff Kumbia” MP3 & Que Bajo/Release Party Tonight (NYC)

Hey Nueva York, tonight is not only the latest installment of the contemporary Latin extravaganza that is Que Bajo, it is the release party for Sabo’s new release on venerable Bersa Discos. Concordantly, they’re offering this shimmy of a dancehall-sampling cumbia to get you in the mood, simmering with accordion shuffle and a little cross-the-island patois vibes. Que Bajo gets it in, and tonight they’ve got guest DJs Sabo and Disco Shawn (Bersa Discos) and residents Uproot Andy and Geko Jones, so crank your internal radiator and dress to sweat cause shit is getting tropically basslike tonight. Flyer/info after the jump.

It’s only 10 bucks, but if the recession has you down, skip dinner and read through all the Ghetto Palms archives here.
