“These prints are very unique for many reasons.  The “Chicha” posters are traditionally used to announce Cumbia concerts that occur on a weekly basis.  They must be designed and printed quickly to be distributed all over the city as rapidly as possible.  A thin low-quality paper is used to facilitate the ease in which the posters are put up.   Because of this technique there is a notable difference between a silkscreen print produced in the “Chicha” workshop and other  prints produced in a conventional silkscreen workshop used by artists.  These prints, like all silkscreens, are one of a kind,  but the “defects” in the Chicha posters are exceptionally captivating.  There are discrepancies in color, letter form and registry.  This technique used on high quality paper make these imperfections even more interesting.”
