Another red cover, it is pure coincidence. Lisandro Meza
y su Conjunto are here. From the very beginning of this
album we can hear how much fun these guys were having.
Lisandro was part of the famous Corraleros de Majagual
since 1962 when he was 23 years of age. Born in 1939 in
Corozal, Lisandro recorded some 110 albums of which we
have this one today. It is from 1974 and contains golpe,
vallenato, Paseo, puya, rumbita and merengue.
I am a fan since I first heard his work. Don’t
hesitate, get it and spread it now..

It was in october of 2014 that I posted volume two in this series.
It resulted in quite some happy reactions and I promised to bring
the other volumes as well. Now today it is volume 5’s turn. I have
volume three waiting and am still on the look out for #1 and #4.
On side two of the album we see two other names. Track 7 is sung
by Arturo Cabarces but I think with the acordeon of Andrés Landero
and then track 12 is sung by Adriano Salas but I think with the
acordeon of Luis Enrique Martinez. If I’m wrong please leave
us a note. Meanwhile enjoy listening..

Good morning groovers, are you up for some vallenato
today ? I sure hope so cuz Miguel Duran y su Conjunto
are here to make you realise, it is hot stuff. I am on the
look out for the album that contains “India Matea”, one
of his best songs as far as I heard them. Today’s album is
from 1975 and does not disappoint as well, listen..

We’ve got some hot tropical sound for you today.
Los Golden Boys were a happy bunch of youngsters.
They had a very contageous style, mixing traditional

During the past week I’ve been very busy redecorating and
adding new interior to my little shop. No time for anything
else. Now we have weekend and finally find some
time to post another record. Let’s see..

A group we haven’t seen here earlier is this great vallenato
band. Los Cañaguateros have a solid sound, jumpy bass,
singer Pedro Garcia with his strong voice, I like it a lot.
Then turning the vinyl, we find some other hot vallenato
bands like Isaac Carrillo and his Conjunto with Colacho
Mendoza on accordeon, Alberto Fernandez’ with Gustavo
Gutiérrez and Alfredo Gutierrez with Los del Cesar.
A must have for lovers of good vallenato. Enjoy..

12 – Alfredo Gutierrez con Los del Cesar – Bendito vicio

Good day groovers, been busy this week, hardly
time to post as you noticed. Today however I’ve
got something special for y’all. Andres Landero’s
records are very hard to find so I’m extra happy
to be able to bring you this one today. Candelazos
Curro ‘en Acordeon’ vol. 9, it plays almost perfect.
Shame about the pops in track #4 but further it’s
in quite good condition. I guess we should be
happy finding his work at all. Landero’s music
is very hot to my humble opinion, if you don’t
know it I suggest a few spins at least to
find out..enjoy doing so..

tracks;

01 – La ombligona
02 – Los ombreros
03 – Apúrate toño
04 – Compadre préstame el jeep
05 – Primavera florecida
06 – Buena vida
07 – Tres morenas
08 – Atésate
09 – El cucarachero
10 – La licorera
11 – Pollerin en bulto
12 – Recuerdos de madre

Sometimes the vinyl is so thin, the album we have here for
instance, one can almost fold it double. Off course the first
thing that suffers from it is the sound quality of the record.
Early seventies we had that oilcrisis which caused prices
of vinyl to go up as well. The quality of the music itself is
a different matter, Alejandro Duran and Luis Enrique
Martinez share this lp, each six tracks. Part from
the sound quality it is a fine record, twelve
songs by two great artists..

tracks;

01 – Alejandro Duran – Pedazo de acordeon
02 – Alejandro Duran – Cero treinta y nueve
03 – Alejandro Duran – Cachucha bacana
04 – Alejandro Duran – Sielba maria

06 – Alejandro Duran – El leñazo
07 – Luis Enrique Martinez – La villa del rosario
08 – Luis Enrique Martinez – La dejo el tren
09 – Luis Enrique Martinez – La carta
10 – Luis Enrique Martinez – Alcirita
11 – Luis Enrique Martinez – Hombre modelo
12 – Luis Enrique Martinez – Que triste me dejas

We had us a small contribution of Policarpo Calle on
that lp of Lucho Campillo the other day. Now he’s back
here with one of his own albums. Tropical de Colombia
at it’s very best, just the way we like it. Get it and give
it a few spins, I’m sure you wont regret..

12 – El porrito viejo

I saw some old merengue being downloaded this morning
and decided to post some. This is Trio Reynoso with Tatico,
they bring the authentic merengue from the Dominicans as
the title already suggests. Trio Reynoso made their merengue
using the acordeon and having a certain weekness for the
instrument, my choice was easily made. Give it a spin
and share it like always, enjoy..

01 – El descrubidor
02 – La mamajuana
03 – La cama
04 – Las mujeres ajenas
05 – La agarradera

09 – La mujer es una flor
10 – Agua de tu fuente
11 – La cuestión
12 – Si tatico se levanta

The lp we’ve got selected for you today concerns an album
by two great artists. It is suggested these guys are in some
kind of battle singing in turns. The record is divided however,
instead of taking turns, Manuel Caraballo is doing the a-side
and Morgan Blanco the b-side. They perform with the same
group, ‘Los Principes Vallenatos’. One way or the other, I
like both of them and am unable to pick a favourite. What
do you think ? How about you Gerrit, I noticed you are
into vallenato too..by the way return my best wishes
to Agnes, greetings from old buddies in ‘t Gooi..

1 Manuel Caraballo – Triste abandono
2 Manuel Caraballo – Cruz maria
3 Manuel Caraballo – Recuerdo inolvidable
