Chuck Prophet and His Cumbia Shoes at The Annex

When a stage four lymphoma diagnosis forced him off the road and into the hospital, Chuck Prophet didn’t know if he’d live long enough to see the end of the year, let alone get back on tour. His savior was music and the result is "Wake the Dead," his critically-lauded new album.
Recorded with a band of brothers ¿Qiensave?, the collection explores the world of Cumbia music, which consumed and comforted Prophet during his illness and recovery. The songs are intoxicatingly rhythmic, demanding you move your body, with arrangements that blur the lines between tradition and innovation.
There are flashes of rock and roll, punk, surf, and soul, all filtered through the streets of San Francisco.
