Classic folk music from Colombia. Cumbia, puya, gaita corrida and other songs (read the notes for more info). Great stuff. The ensemble consists of two flutes (gaitas), a maraca, three drums, and a singer. There is a great similarity of sound to all tracks, but it’s universally lively, well played, and all tracks are worth a listen. *1. Midtempo cumbia, a good introduction to their sound. *2. A bouncy, instrumental puya. Too short. *3. Soaring vox, call-response, claps, percussion. Mid/uptempo. 4. Interesting, whining flute & drums. Uptempo instrumental. 5. Wailing a capella work song w/powerful, almost haunting vocals. 6. Five gaitas in a birdsong-like round w/maracas. Midtempo. 7. Drums, maracas, flutes, vox. A midtempo porro. 8. Fast w/high-pitched flute, and lots of perc. Instrumental. 9. Melodic, midtempo porro with good use of chorus. *10. Fast blend of percussion & flutes. Driving & crazy. *11. Midtempo cumbia for Toto la Momposina. 12. Mid/uptempo instrumental w/dueling flutes & percussion. 13. Applause, then solo voice. Only 37 seconds, can lead into14. 14. Midtempo and kind of restrained instrumental. | ||
