Los Campeones Ja Ja Vol 2

LP (Item 135378) Discos Fuentes (Colombia), 1970s — Condition: Very Good+
...

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Incredible sounds from the legendary Discos Fuentes – Colombia's powerhouse of musical magic for the past 50 years – presented here on some of the rootsier recordings from the label's early years!

Los Golden Boys

Cumbia De Juventud
Discos Fuentes/Mississippi, Mid 60s. Near Mint-
Youthful cumbia from Los Golden Boys – a combo with a spirit that really lives up to their name – and which is served up here with some very cool use of organ next to more familiar cumbia rhythms! The instrument is lean and spacey – almost otherworldly – and the quality ... LP, Vinyl record album

Malo

Dos
Warner, 1972. Very Good+ Gatefold
A seminal bit of Latin funk from the Bay Area scene of the early 70s – the second album from Malo, and an even harder-hitting jam session than the first!

Irakere

Irakere 2
Columbia, 1980. Very Good+
The second Columbia album for this amazing Cuban combo – and a record that really helped get the talents of Irakere a lot of overdue exposure here in the US!

Chango

Chango
ABC, 1975. Near Mint- Gatefold
Heady work from Chango – a 70s combo with a style that's right in keeping with the Chicano Rock scene in LA! The group mix together a swirling blend of guitars, organ, and percussion – clearly inspired by Santana, but with rootsier touches, and a bit more energy to groove openly. Most ...

Joe Loco

Bravo Loco
Tico, Mid 60s. Very Good+
Joe's firey Latin piano turns towards a number of tracks that are best known as standards, but which are given a nice Latiny tinge here in this classic Tico session. Titles include "Lover", "Cuban Nightingale", "Body & Soul", "September In the Rain", ... LP, Vinyl record album

Noro Morales

His Piano & Rhythm
Ansonia, Early 60s. Very Good-
Great stuff – and one of the purest examples we can find of the Latin piano style of the great Noro Morales! Noro plays here without any of the trappings of some of his other records – just working with a small rhythm combo on an all-instrumental set – with tremendous solo work ... LP, Vinyl record album

Chico O'Farrill

Married Well
Verve, 1967. Near Mint-
The great Latin big band arrangements of Chico O'Farrill meet the groovy production of late-60's Verve – and the result is an excellent album of groovy instrumentals that just won't quit! Chico's arranging skills are still in excellent shape here – and they're augmented by some very ... LP, Vinyl record album
