From The Fader Magazine:
Riobamba is celebrating her recent signing to N.Y.C. electronic collective DISCWOMAN with a new mix of reggaeton, dembow, progressive electronica, and much more.

In the newest iteration of cumbia, it makes its way from Toy Selecta’s hip-hop insipred reworkings to crunk cumbia and now to a new corner of the DIY, Soundcloud-fueled underground with wepa, in all of its embracing of low-end, lo-fi grittiness.
