On monday july 13 I posted ‘Sabor Costeño’, an album with
five artists of which we find back three today. This is an lp
with 6 artists on the same label and from one year earlier.
Heliodoro martinez is the guy that hit me the most with
his great voice. The others however do not disappoint
as well. Going to Colombia for some crate digging is
something I’ve got on top of my wishlist..

tracks;

01 – Ciro Arroyo – El que la tenga que la goce
02 – Heliodoro Martinez – El pollo negro
03 – Alberto Montiel – Me esta dominando
04 – Ciro Arroyo – El viejito enamorado
05 – Heliodoro Martinez – La trampa
06 – Dario Carmaco – Charanga candela
07 – Heliodoro Martinez – El borracho
08 – Eligio Arroyo – Sapo con mucha pinta
09 – Dario Carmaco – Carta del pobre
10 – Heliodoro Martinez – Se daño mi suegra
11 – Alberto Montiel – Entristecido
12 – Pedro Nel perez – Adios 20 de enero

The lp we have today has appearantly been property of Radio
Sincelejo. You can see how some enthousiastic worker changed
the frontsleeve, pitty but okay, it’s all about the music anyway.
The vallenato is from 1981 and you can hear it getting more
modern. Full bass and produced differently than in the earlier
seventies. The songs are strong however and the jumpy
basslines take you to the dancefloor automatically.
Listen to the wounded acordeon..

tracks;

01 – Acordeon herido
02 – Amparito
03 – La rabiosa
04 – El hombre que llora
05 – La china idalide
06 – La india caderona
07 – El guayabito
08 – Matando plagas
09 – Honda herida
10 – El hijo ajeno as cabezon
11 – El martirio
12 – La rasquiñita

El Rey Negro Vallenato, or Alejandro Duran was one
of the most important figures if it comes to vallenato.
His sound is the most authentic you may find and the
lp we ripped for you today is a fine example of that
fact. It is from 1976 and on Victoria, a solid find by
our main contributor, thnx San. 12 great songs for
vallenato lovers. Get it & spread it as usual..

tracks;

01 – Mi dolor
02 – Mi madre me escribe
03 – La papeleta
04 – 4 de agosto
05 – Yo tengo un viaje
06 – Mi linda tierra
07 – El aborrecido
08 – No llores rojo
09 – Plegaria vallenata
10 – Muchachos nuevos
11 – Ya mi viaje fracaso
12 – Costeñita

Hello, goodmorning, One of the best vallenato tracks I ever heard
was without doubt ‘India Matea’ by Miguel Duran. The album which
contains it is still on my most wanted list though. If you want to hear
it, you can find it on the lp ‘Fiesta Vallenata’ obtainable at this page.
For now, we’ve got us another record by Miguel Duran, it is from ’74
and appears on Victoria. Jivin’ rhythms and squeezebox ..guepa je..

tracks;

01 – Kilometro 15
02 – Tu cumpleaños
03 – Grito campesino
04 – La medicina
05 – Contestación a tres mujeres
06 – El resentido
07 – Mi negra
08 – El caso de miguel
09 – Lo que te pido
10 – Como hare para olvidar
11 – Puya na’ma
12 – Ni luto ni flores

Today’s post concerns another vallenato collector.
It contains ten songs by five artists, two each.
I can truly say five of my favourite singers,
if you’re on the same level don’t hesitate.
..so get it & spread it..

tracks;

01 – Alejo Duran – Chelo
02 – Pachito Rada – No me sigas engañando
03 – Juancho polo Valencia – La sombra negra
04 – Lisandro Meza – La pareja mia
05 – Andres Landero – Rosario
06 – Lisandro Meza – Tio conejo
07 – Alejo Duran – El aparato
08 – Andres Landero – Coqueta
09 – Pachito Rada – El casado
10 – Juancho polo Valencia – Darney

He was one of the many singers with Los Corraleros de Majagual
but made a bunch of records under his own name as well. Cesar
Castro is here with an album from 1973. His style of vallenato is
very enjoyable and his acordeon weeps just the way we like.
Listen to another hot disc on Caliente..

tracks;

01 – Las pretenciosas
02 – Mi triste pasado
03 – La tocalotodo
04 – Esta mundo se acabo
05 – Amor fingido
06 – Vallenato entristecido
07 – Mi saludo al valle
08 – Comeme a besos
09 – Yo culpo a las mujeres
10 – La campeona
11 – Nidito de amor
12 – Caprichos de mi negra

Being more and more crazy about vallenato I decided to
make a compilation of some of my favourite tracks. It
contains songs that have been on my turntable a lot.
I used the cover of an album I’m still searching for.
Alonso Pedrozo or ‘el Pollo Cantor’ is not on this
collector but he will appear at the GG shortly.
The ones that do appear will not disappoint
if you are into this hot style of music.
Get it & spread it..

Over the years I noticed to have develloped a certain weekness
for raw voices. My favourites are Juancho Polo Valencia, Angel
Vasquez, Andrés Landero, Heliodoro Martinez, Alberto Montiel,
Alejandro Duran, Manuel Caraballo and we can add Pachito Rada
to this list. In other genres there are way more to mention but
this list just covers Colombian artists. I am very sorry to say track
#6 has one small jump, I tried to remove it but did not succeed.
Shame about a good song but sh*t happens. The album remains
worth downloading to my opinion, see for yourself..

tracks;

01 – El millonario roncon
02 – Falso juramento
03 – Con la misma rabia
04 – Antonio y emiliano
05 – No se que hacer
06 – Mis penas
07 – Sueño con ella
08 – Igualdad
09 – El plagio
10 – Te esperare

Today I tried my new cleaning tool for vinyl first time and
I think it’s done the job quite well. The record looks very
clean and sounds the same, in short, it’s been approved.

Five artists, of which we’ve seen only one so far, share this
album. Two songs each, one on every side of the album.
Only Anibal Velasquez appeared here before, the others
were new to me when I first found this record. They are
very welcome with their warm tropical sound, I’d say
do not hesitate and listen to these great Colombians.

tracks;

01 – Ramiro Beltran y su Conjunto – El avispon
02 – Virgilio de la Hoz y sus Primos – Yo se que tu sabes que yo se
03 – Juvenal Viloria y su Conjunto – Mayengue
04 – Elias Moron y su Conjunto – Pelea entre marido y mujer
05 – Anibal Velasquez y su Conjunto – Desengañado
06 – Ramiro Beltran y su Conjunto – El coco de maria
07 – Virgilio de la Hoz y sus Primos – Aura estela
08 – Juvenal Viloria y su Conjunto – La carita de machengue
09 – Elias Moron y su Conjunto – Carmen sofia
10 – Anibal Velasquez y su Conjunto – Derrumbe

It’s front cover alone is worth a posting of this vallenato
record. They all look as if they’re angry with the fotographer.
The whole Sarmiento family seems to be present, dressed
in their sunday’s clothing and damned serious in what they
do. I think this frontsleeve is both funny and beautyful.
I’m not sure if the whole bunch is also performing here,
including the younger brothers. One way or the other,
the vallenato is of the purest kind and sounds just
the way I like it, how about you ? Can you dig it ?

tracks;

01 – Necesito un acordeon
02 – Te llevo en el alma
03 – No llores mujer
04 – Mi pena y mi ternura
05 – La pruebita de amor
06 – Rio padillo
07 – Acordeon vallenato
08 – Nosotros
09 – Comiendo del cuento
10 – El aparato
