Editor's Pick:
Here's a great find — a tremendous compilation of Colombian dance material from the 60s and '70s. Assembled by Miles Cleret with clearly written detailed liner notes by Roberto Ernesto Gyement (remember their amazing work on the Panama! collection? You should!), Colombia! features some sparkling material from the eminent label Discos Fuentes. Works by Fruko y Sus Tesos, The Latin Brothers, Afrosound, Lito Barrientos, Orquesta Nunez are represented, as well as some more obscure but vital bands like Climaco Sarmiento y Su Orquesta, Wganda Kenya and Pedro Laza y Sus Pelayeros. This is hard-driving salsa, jazzy riffs and fiery cumbias like you've never heard before. The 10-minute descarga "El Mondongo" by Los Corraleros de Majagual is a gem. In his comments Gyement is able to add additional background and color to the material, adding context and nuance to an already enjoyable package. Beautiful full-color representations of rare album covers are peppered throughout. This one, folks, is a must-have.
Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2007-04-27)
