Ook al krijg ik alleen van Juanito en Antonio altijd reacties op de vallenato posts, ik kan het niet laten deze muziek te blijven bren- gen. Ik heb werkelijk geen idee waarom zo weinig mensen dit spul waarderen, zelf ben ik er dol op. Vandaag een verzamelaar uit 1973 met een rijtje van de meest[...]

Tropical weather asks for tropical music. I am such a bad writer, always the same story, cold weather asks for hot music to stay warm. what ever[...]

De elpee die we hier hebben op Discos Fuentes uit 1973 is een mix van Colombiaanse en Puerto Ricaanse nummers. Een beetje vreemde combinatie van stijlen maar wel heel fijn om zo door elkaar te beluisteren. De plaat bevat een aantal juweeltjes die de trommelvliezen strelen, luister zelf.. The record we've got us here today[...]

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[...]
