Original Sound Of Cumbia – History Of Colombian Cumbia & Porro As Told By The Phonograph 1948 to 1979 – Compiled By Quantic – Part 2

Out Of Stock

Soundway Records delves deep into the great history Colombian cumbia and porro – beautifully putting together an expansive set that traces the evolution of the sounds throughout 3 decades – and keeping it coming feverishly and furiously well paced the whole way through! They do a terrific job of making this set reverent of the history – it was very well researched by Will "Quantic" Holland – with one half featuring earlier Columbian cumbia and one half of the evolving sounds and instrumentation that came into play over the years. The sound is beautiful, even on the earliest recordings, and it's heated, intensely rhythmic all the way. Holland and Soundway's Miles Cleret here deliver as exciting and informative a set of benchmark cumbia as we could have hoped for. Part 2 features original 45s and LP tracks – 28 titles that include "El 4 Y 5" by Carlos Roman, "Tambo Tambo" by La Cumbia Soledena, "Cumbia Del Carnaval" by Betopey, "Cumbia Columbia" by Chico Cervantes, "Lluvia" by Hermanos Tuiran, "Elionora" by Miguel Duran, "La Gaita Del Pato" by Lucho Yepez, and "El Porro Es Hermano De La Cumbia" by El Pholy Combo.
