Ramito, el Cantor de la Montaña
Parrandeando, Ansonia 1981

Ramito, front

Some visitor told me our GG is very plane and does
not give a whole lot of information about artists and
their works. It’s true, we don’t, but that is exactly the
idea. It is meant just this way. I’m sure you know, it’s
like radiostations where they keep talking like mad and
put listening to music second place. Very annoying to my
opinion. Lots of bloggers love to hear themselves blabbering
about their content as well. Here at the global groove we
put music up front, listen if you want and form your own
opinion about it. What have we got today?
Let’s see..

Do you remember the works of Ramito, ‘el Cantor de
la Montaña’ ? We had a bunch of his albums but it’s
been a while since the last one. Jibaro from Puerto
Rico is sparkling string driven latin, very energetic
and up tempo. The songs are mostly patriottic
but breath a lot of happiness. On this album
Ramito is accompanied by Nieves Quintero
y sus Campesinos. Hope U like’m like
I do, get & spread ..

tracks;

01 – Puerto Rico esta acabando
02 – Nada por nada
03 – Los timidos no pagan
04 – En mi viejo san juan
05 – Bailala
06 – Parrandeando
07 – Mi ultimo poema
08 – Ahora seremos felices
09 – El cautivo
10 – Resignacion

From the moment I first laid my ears on it, I was sold.
Jíbaro from Puerto Rico is a style of music impossible
to ignore, we had a bunch of lp’s already. Ramito, Chuito
and one by German Rosario too. This one was waiting
for a while to find it’s place and today it finally comes
through to you. Hope you like it,

Chuíto – El Decano de Los Cantores,vol.5, Ansonia

Chuito, front

From Puerto Rico we have us another album by the great Chuíto.
He performs a style called ‘jíbaro’ of which we had several other
lp’s. The most famous artists in this genre must be ‘Ramito’,
‘Chuíto’, ‘Odilio Gonzalez’ and ‘German Rosario’. I love
the pure and honest instrumentation in this type of
sound, the years in which Ansonia released these
albums are to be guessed but that doesn’t spoil
the fun of listening to them, enjoy.

1   El regreso de la vieja voladora
2   Santo nombre de jesus
3   En amor no pego una
4   Seguire tu amor
