Listen to this lp which is a collaboration of ECO and
Discos Fuentes and contains 10 fabulous songs.

other 8 by Andrés Landero, what a way to
start the week with the King of Cumbia..

04 – Magdalena ruiz

Presented by the great Luambu Makiadi Franco, this is Kiesse Diambu.
We had not seen him before here at the Global Groove but we’re as
happy as possible to have him. ( After your refreshing comments I rewrote
this, we hear Empire Bakuba and not OK Jazz. ) I love the sound on this album.
Their wonderful voices, the astonishing rhythms, a real gem. Get it and
spread it the way you’re used to. Enjoy Kiesse Diambu..

01 – Pesa ngai luzitu
02 – Silefe
03 – Celibataire
04 – Epitaphe

One of our visitors told me. On the 18th of november the world
lost one of the greatest in vallenato. He was one of the members
of Los Corraleros de Majagual and formed his own group later.
Calixto de jesús Ochoa died in a hospital in Sincelejo, Sucre,
Colombia age 81. He won the prestigeous Festival Vallenato
in 1970 and was responsable for quite some hits like ‘los
Sabanales’, ‘Mata’e Caña’, ‘el Mosquito’ and many others.
He was a gifted singer and acordeonist. I dug up this
record which contains eight songs by his hand.
Enjoy and remember Calixto Ochoa.
..para nunca mas olvidar..

The cumbias are awesome, some of the tracks however are cut off at
the end. Discos Fuentes could have done that a bit more subtle but
okay. One way or the other, as said, the songs are great. We find
