Chuck's first album in 4 years is inspired by the cumbia bands he saw at San Francisco clubs in the pandemic's aftermath, while undergoing cancer treatment. The music was a source of joy, during a dark time. He started playing with ¿Qiensave? a cumbia band based in Salinas, CA. The result is 11 new Chuck Prophet songs wrapped in a cumbia shell. The latin rhythms & chord progressions merge with Chuck's signature song styles to create something new that defies genre, but is undeniably joyful. 1. Wake The Dead 2. Betty's Song 3. Give the Boy a Kiss 4. First Came the Thunder 5. Sally Was a Cop 6. Red Sky Night 7. Same Old Crime 8. One Lie for Me, One for You 9. Sugar into Water 10. In the Shadows (for Elon) 11. It's a Good Day to Be Alive
