When Miguelito starts seeing skeletons in Pixar’s 2017 Coco and then enters the Land of the Dead, where everything turns to the black neon of Día de los Muertos – that’s Los Desechos. An El Tule spinoff by way of their frontman John Dell and his local cumbia powerhouse El Combo Oscuro, the new sextet raises a Coco/Beetlejuice demographic on Cumbias Levantamuertos. Raising the dead with poking, stabbing, jangling chicha psych – surf guitars and bleating keys – Los Desechos’ full-length debut waxes street on instant taco anthem “Cinco de Pastor.” Las Chicas en 512, DJ Albert, and free cumbia lessons throw down también. – Raoul Hernandez
