SCAR AGUDELO Y EL COMBO MODERNO 8211 Pa8217 Mi Mueca (Vampisoul Reissue) 8211 LP 8211 180g Vinyl

LP – 180g Black Vinyl. First time reissue. Includes liner notes by genre expert Don Alirio. In 1966, scar Agudelo recorded this elusive and lesser-known collectors gem called Pa mi mueca for Discos Fuentes. It is a rarity where the artist took an unexpected musical turn and performed several porros, paseaitos, gaitas, and cumbias, evoking the swaying motion and rolling waves of Colombias Caribbean sound. It resonates with the echoes of a romantic minstrel laced with an unexpected richness of nuance, a hallmark of the cumbia sound. Its exactly the kind of music that lights up a tamb or a fandango circle on carnival night. A dozen tracks, none of them new, but suffused with a consciousness that can be understood within the context of their time and with the personality of the artist bold enough to bring them to life. Madre cumbia opens the album with a festive, nostalgic mood, infused with the simple beauty and the electrifying beat of the tropics that immediately makes you want to get up and dance. Its a fantastic example of how to perform a song with passion and make the listener fall instantly in love with an album. Pa mi mueca, the title track, is a fast-paced paseaito that explores new paths that took a shortcut to the dance halls. A showstopper on the dance floor. Est como mango is a porro-cumbia that charms with a rich tapestry of compliments, the calling card of many old-school tropical songs. Cumbia de recuerdo, Cumbia suave, Cumbia de Santa Marta, are back-to-back cumbias. This is an album devoted to recreating the strength of a musical genre thats been the soundtrack of Colombian life for decades. Its a record dedicated to capturing good times, filled with simple dreams, steeped in joyful energy, and shining with the uninhibited flair, or better said, the quality of the sixties. This album represents a milestone on the route cumbia had taken, both for Discos Fuentes and maestro Agudelo. First time reissue. Includes liner notes by genre expert Don Alirio.
