Anibal Velasquez ¿ Mambo Loco ...
NEW LP
Amazing grooves from accordionist Anibal Velasquez ¿ a player who really helped transform the sound of Colombian music in the 60s and 70s!
This time around, the Analog Africa label makes a shift from its namesake continent, in order to dip into the rich archives of Colombian sounds ¿ to come up with a host of amazing tracks that mix together Anibal's instrument with some raw, highly percussive grooves ¿ often sewn together with bits of guitar or piano, but usually pretty stark, bold, and over the top!
There's certainly a trace of familiarcumbia here ¿ but only the roughest variant, as you might hear on a Soundway compilation ¿ and in addition to the wonderful music, the package is great too ¿ loads of notes on Velasquez and his music, vintage photos, and more!
Titles include "Los Vecinos", "Cecilia", "Mi Cumbia", "Mambo Loco", "Santo Amor", "El Pechiche", "Cumbia Bogotana", and "Que Paso". (LP version includes a poster!)
