I couldn't resist to post this wonderful album once again. It is the third time it's been posted, now with updated tags and details, I also added a documentary in Spanish in 2 parts. The previous post contained files without the right tags. For this final re-post I have also made you the vinyl-rip. See[...]

Today's contribution concerns an album by Guillermo de Jesus Buitrago. He turned into a historic figure in Colombian 'parranda', living from 1920 to 1949 his music is still being played by many. When I first discovered his work, I guess it must have been in 2003 or 4, it hit me instantly. It was after[...]

Some time ago I got confused finding two 'Sambistas' with the name Noël Rosa. Yesterday I got confused over two African artists both using the name 'Papa Noël'. Isn't that strange ? Now, Noël means Christmas and since it's december it seems appropriate to post some music with that theme. This is Chuito, a Jibaro[...]

It has been quite a while since we had us an album with strictly cumbia. This record from 1970 stood waiting to get posted for a long time. High time to post some more stuff from Colombia anyway. So for today this elpee with nice old cumbia, enjoy listening .. Het is alweer behoorlijk lang[...]

Good morning and Merry Christmas. I have selected this Colombian Christmas record with José Maria Peñaranda. He was famous for his naughty songs, songs with double meanings and lots of humor. This record contains a bunch of songs about 'Navidad', Christmas songs for you today. No girls in bikini on the cover, but just Peñaranda[...]

As long time sucker for accordion music I keep coming back to the fastest sound in the field, the merengue ripao from the Dominican republic. On this album we find 'El Cieguito de Nagua', the blind man from Nagua. Inimitable smart play by El Cieguito, one of the favourite things to play while driving my[...]

Guillermo Buitrago only grew to be 29 years of age when he died. It has always remained a mystery exactly what kind of sickness he suffered from. His parents had seven children of which five died before their thirtienth. Guillermo was one of them. Guillermo Bui- trago was one of the most successful Colombian composers[...]

Het was in december 2011 dat ik een verzamelaar maakte met uitsluitend liedjes van exact drie minuten. Een aardige formule die naar mijn mening opvolging verdiende. Vandaag verwen ik je met maarliefst twee opvolgers, volumes twee en drie. Ik had al veel plezier ze samen te stellen. Hopelijk beleef jij net zoveel ple- zier met[...]

We had a couple of nice albums with Boy Dap from Curaçao. This one contains one cheap weepie and eight salsa songs. Just throw away song #2 and you'll be good .. Tot nu toe hadden we een paar prima platen met Boy Dap uit Curaçao. Deze bevat een vreselijke smartlap en acht salsa tracks.[...]

We know Ramito, Chuito, German Rosario and Odilio Gonzalez to name a few Jibaro interpreters. Today a female singer in the same category. La Calandria comes on Ansonia accompanied by Claudio ferrer y sus Jibaros, with her powerful voice she makes quite an impression. Brisas Navideñas is a very strong album.. We kenden reeds Ramito,[...]

Nu we toch in Colombia zijn aangeland stuiven we maar gelijk even door. Cesar Castro was hier al enkele malen, het werd hoog tijd voor een vervolg daarop. Bij deze dus.. Now we're in Colombia better stay a while and post another album. Cesar Castro was here on a few earlier occasions and it was[...]
