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..

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
05 – Alejandro Duran – El perro
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

11 – Luis Enrique Martinez – Hombre modelo
12 – Luis Enrique Martinez – Que triste me dejas

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 Maria Peñaranda.
On ‘Cumbia en el monte’ vocals by Pascual Rovira, on ‘Navidad Negra’
vocals by Tito Cortes. On ‘La calle 13’ and ‘La negra caliente’
vocals by Crescencio Gamacho.
As for me, I can play this type of music all year through, such
happy sound should be for always.

Here’s a post, especially interesting for it’s collector’s value, more then
for it’s musical value. ‘Los Millonarios’ played instrumental versions of
well known songs. For instance, ‘No me busques’ of ‘Los Corraleros
de Majagual’, or ‘El carretera’ of ‘Guillermo Portabales’. It gives an
impression of all the styles played in Colombian music. And as always,
‘Discos Fuentes’ brings a cover with a pretty girl. Check back cover
for style info. Attention : Track no. 1 jumps one time !
