Today I thought I'd post us some Colombian music. 'Navidad Negra' which I addad as a bonustrack is a good example of music they play in Colombia with Christmas. Pedro Laza is the man who wrote lots of such songs. On 'El güiro' vocals by Daniel Santos, on 'La cosecha de mujeres' vocals by José[...]

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[...]

Three days ago we had us this album with Alfonso Piña. It is a quite unknown elpee, the two more famous tracks by his hand can be found on this porro collector. It contains a bunch of other fine songs as well. Bigger names like Pedro laza, los Corraleros de Majagual and Pacho Galan for[...]

Lately I'm so captured by vallenato that cumbia, gaita and porro got neclected for a while. Let's make up for the hiatus and bring you a collector of coastal songs from the seventies.

Goodmorning, it is time for some cumbia, I suddenly realised the style was being neglected somewhat. When posting Colombian, lately I tend to turn to vallenato a bit more. No worries though, we've got some of that stuff waiting to find it's way to you. Take this here album, a collector which contains some of[...]

Holy guacamole, this lp contains only killers, no fillers. We've got the great Andrés Landero with his bloody hot rhythm section, we've got Chico Cervantes, Luis E. Martinez, Los Guacharacos, Julian Machado, all cooking dance material you would not want to miss. Get it and spread it the way you're used to.. now volumes up,[...]

There was a time I would never have believed an album with such a cheap sleeve, naked girl and all, could be a good one. Nowadays I know better. Au contraire, after collecting this type of music some years I started loving them. The record we have here is just what we like to find,[...]

You liked volume one a lot so I guess volume two will gain some happy listeners as well. This lp contains a couple of huge hits to my humble opinion. Track # one for instance with the great Lucho Pérez is a straight killer. But off course Pedro Laza's 'Navidad Negra' and Calixto Ochoa's 'Recordando[...]

Well Chuckie Jo, that is so nice to hear that I could not resist posting you some cumbia straight away. American rednecks that love cumbia are quite rare I reckon and the fact alone calls for a reward. Suck on this collector for a while, it contains songs by the finest artists in the field.[...]
