The first ever compilation dedicated to the history of the sonidero movement. Rebajada in Spanish means "to reduce, to lower". It's basically Mexican sonideros (sound-system operators) slowing down the beat of a cumbia to create a much more tangible music to dance to. The sonidero who brought Peruvian and Ecuadorian music to Mexico was the legendary Pablo Perea from Sonido Arco-Iris, and although his fingerprints are all over the compilation 'Saturno 2000,' this selection of songs in rebajada is exclusive to DJ Lengua, who compiled this album. With the exception of a few classics from Polibio Mayorga and La Sampuesana -the queen of all rebajadas- most of these songs were probably never performed as such before, let alone released.
Double LP pressed on 140g virgin vinyl comes with a full color 12-pages booklet.
