Cumbia – like you've never heard it before! This compilation on Irma's Colors label features a host of modern Cumbia groovers that update the traditional
sound of the music with a hipper dancefloor and remix style – of the sort that you'd normally expect from European sources and scenes. The tracks on the set hail from Latin
American sources that include Columbia, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Peru – and they've got a warm "electro/
tropical"
sound that we like a lot more than standard Cumbia! Titles include "Fuiste" by Gilda, "Cumbia Villera" by Yerba Brava, "El Loco" by Los De Abajo, "Technocumbia Del Oeste" by Rossy War, "Cumbia De Los Pajaritos" by Chicos De Barrio, "No Te Metas Conmigo" by Sebastian Escofet, and "Meneito" by Mambotur.
(Cover has minimal wear, and is nice overall.)
