Saturno 2000: La Rebajada de Los Sonideros 1962-1983 is a compilation album of {{ill|cumbia rebajada|es}}, released by Analog Africa on 15 April 2022.
Background and release
The tracks on Saturno 2000 are cumbia rebajadas ({{lang|es|rebajada}} is Spanish for reduced or lowered), which are slowed-down and pitch shifted versions of cumbia songs.{{r|wire}}
The genre of cumbia rebajada emerged in Monterrey in the late 1970s, after the success of a cumbia set by DJ Gabriel Dueñez in which his turntables short-circuited, and began playing the records at slower speeds.{{r|clash|wire}}
Following this other DJs began modifying their turntables to play records at speeds as low as 20rpm.{{r|uncut}}
Peruvian DJ Eamon Ore-Giron suggested a compilation of cumbia rebajada to Analog Africa head Samy Ben Redjeb in 2010, selected the tracks from across Latin America, and slowed them down himself.{{r|clash|klof}}
The original tracks are from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, and Venezuela, and are mostly instrumentals recorded in the 1970s.{{r|klof}}
Saturno 2000 was released by Analog Africa on 15 April 2022 on CD and LP, and as a download.{{r|klof}}

In a review for Uncut, John Lewis called the compilation "gleefully disconcerting stuff."{{r|uncut}}
Sam Walker-Smart of Clash said that "anyone with an existing interest in cumbia, reggae, or early synth scenes should find plenty to enjoy within this unique mixture of the three."{{r|clash}}
The Arts Desk named "Capricho Egipcio" the stand-out track, and compared the slowed-down cumbias to Belgian popcorn and Finnish tango, two other musical sub-genres that are notable for being played slower than their parent genres.{{r|artsdesk}}
Sounds and Colours called the title track by Los Santos "a languid slice of mutant cumbia."{{r|sounds-colours}}
