Colombia! The Golden Age of Discos Fuentes

Oye mis amigos! My Latin musica adventure continues with this release from Soundway Records. 20 tracks of Cumbia, Gaita, Fandango, Salsa and Champete. All tracks are from 1960-1976. The standout track for me is Fruko y sus Tesos, Improvisando. Champeta is a style native to Cartegena and is a hybrid of Calypso, Reggae and West African sounds. Yo pienso este disco es 4 out of 5 guitars for the rating. Latin percussion and brass all over the place. Viva Colombia!
