Friends of vallenato, attention. This old record brings us
some of the finest. It starts out with Emiliano Zuleta’s
‘Gota Fria’, a straight hit if you ask me. Nicolás ‘Colacho’
Mendoza is vocally accompanied by his friends Pedro
García Díaz and Esteban Salas. The rest of the group are;
Adán Enrique Monteras – guacharaca
Juán José Calderón – cajero
Carlos Huertas Trujillo – guitarra
Justo Velázquez – bajo
Carlos Veléz – cencerro
Acordeón by Nicolás ‘Colacho’ Mendoza
I am not exactly sure about the year of release, the back-
sleeve speaks of 1967 but my Spanish is not good enough.
Can anyone translate and tell us please ?
Great, thanks in advance, now get listening and be sure to
spread it around, enjoy..

You know you’re all such lucky bastards, this music is
almost impossible to find. The main man here is my buddy
Sanjay. He travells to Colombia and finds these killer lp’s.
Thank you again Sanjay, the album we have here is just
breathtaking. I love the stirring rhythms and wild sound
of the porros and guarachas. Sonora Curro with Crecencio
Camacho and Romansito are here with their swell
names and grooves to make you drift off, close
y’r eyes and you’re in a different world..
Get it & Spread it !

Today’s contribution concerns a recent discovery. I heard
this lp and fel in love with it straight away. The combination
of acordeon, the strong rhythms, it’s roughness is just so
sweet. Angel Vasquez’s raw voice captured me instantly.
It may sound silly but I also love the image of the frontsleeve,
the simplicity of a yellow background with picture and text,
plain, simple and uncomplicated, big letters, it’s goood.
All together, a happy post,
get it & spread it..

I am in a good mood today so I’m gonna wangle y’all a bit more.
This slice of happy Colombian vinyl put a big smile on my face
this morning and I just could not withhold it from you. So suck it
in, dig in & get goin’. I am pretty sure you wont be able to sit
still while pumping these files through
your speakers, ..blast away..

The vallenato of Morgan Blanco with it’s jumpy basslines
and happy accordeon is one I love to play. Such a shame
this lp has so many scratches. One way or the other, I still
love to give it a spin, the music is great. Maybe someone
can give it a cleaning treatment and throw it back in. Would
be wonderful. Be sure to snatch it while you can..cheers..

Hello and good morning on this Easterday. I think it’s for the first
time we are having us a white Easter. Even with Chrsitmas we
had better weather, it’s cold and snowing on this 31st of march.
Spring just doesn’t realise we’re already entering april tomorrow.

Winter or spring, we play tropical music all year round so that
makes no difference. Today I’ll spoil you with some ‘Tropical de
Colombia’. From 1975 on Discos Fuentes de Medellin Colombia
we’ve got this wonderful album by Los Corraleros de Majagual.
This supergroup had relations with the most fantastic artists.
On this album alone we find Lisandro Meza, Eliseo Herrera,
Julio Erazo and Calixto Ochoa to name just a few. But they
also hosted Alfredo Gutierrez, Lucho Argain and Nacho
Paredes among many others. Great vocalists, hot
rhythmsection and horns, better don’t miss..

Okay, let’s see, Blogger made some big mistake
while updating their website and my two latest posts
got lost somehow. I’m not gonna sit and wait so here

what happens. Anyway, enjoy Colompilation 5 again.

Sonolux from Medellin Colombia released this collector in 1982.
It contains some Colombian highlites from the 70’s and early 80’s.
The cover makes you expect a quite commercial album and it does have
one or two of those tracks. On the other hand we find a few great
songs. Anibal Velasques always makes a difference and Alfredo Linares’
Tiahuanaco swings fantastic, but my favourite is absolutely track #3,
by Los Montuneros.

tracks;

1 Los Tremendos de Colombia – Ese amor
2 Darigil y su Combo – Cumbia Calentana
3 Los Montuneros – Francisco del otro lado
4 Los Alegres de San Basilio – La espina
5 Don Medardo y sus Players – La ladrona
6 Grupo Chambacu – Alhucema con Romero
7 Grupo Escala – Porque eme sigues
8 Anibal Velasques – Un poquito de cariño

10 Tamara – La limosna
