about

The EP titled "Fuschia Machu Picchu" are songs about longing, love, plants, and the inner life of inanimate objects. The sound is very much inspired by the world music he grew up.

“I’m always hearing some sort of defunct cosmic ice cream truck in my head – that’s the sound I’m after with my mbiras and tank drums and other tuned percussion. Hopefully people will get that." - Joachim Cooder

lyrics

Fuchsia Machu Picchu
Fuchsia Machu Picchu
When will you come and set down roots Cause it’s hot in this city
But don’t you let that get to you

Fuchsia Machu Picchu
When will you come and set down roots Cause it’s hot in this city
Tonight’s a super moon
You’re a red light shinin
Said you’re a red light shinin’ down You’re a red light shinin
All over this here land

Fuchsia Machu Picchu
When will you grow ten feet tall There’s a mean sun hangin in the sky You could bring shade to us all

Fuchsia Machu Picchu
When will you come and set down roots Cause it’s hot in this city
Tonight’s a super moon
You’re a red light shinin
Said you’re a red light shinin’ down You’re a red light shinin
All over this here land

Joachim Cooder Los Angeles, California

When surprises this sublime fall out of the sky, there is no other response than to shake the head in wonder and say "thank you." These songs have a cosmic-edged center to them that takes all of Cooder's many adventures, wraps everything in a big bow, and delivers them like a really early holiday present. There is a playfulness that goes way beyond anything else being recorded today,. B. Bentley ... more
