'I'd be pushing a plow or scattering seeds, and the songs would just come to me,' he recalls. 'It was tremendously inspirational and made me realize that apart from singing, farming is perhaps the oldest human art form.' While farming, LaFarge began dreaming up a kaleidoscopic sound informed by his love of music from far-ranging eras and corners of the globe, including mambo, tropicalia, rocksteady, and mid-century American rock-and-roll. 'The songs that naturally come to me are upbeat and make you wanna dance or at least bop your head--they're all very colorful,' says LaFarge. 'I used to think of my music in dark blue, but now I see it in technicolor.' Co-produced along with Chris Seefried and Elliot Bergman and recorded in L.A., the resulting Rhumba Country is an invitation to come together to celebrate life and love.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54493051093377,"sku":"2278345","price":25.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51jTCi-YQKL.jpg?v=1753038391","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2278345","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
