Grandes Cumbias [LP]

Grandes Cumbias collects fourteen traditional cumbias, vallenatos, porros and gaitas from the Ondina label in Medellín, rooted in the folklore of Colombia's Atlantic coast. The material comes dressed in colourful, elegant orchestral arrangements by conductors who travelled the coast to study its songs and drum rhythms. Featured artists include Conjunto Atlántico, José Ricardo, Miguel Ochoa, Pello Torres, Edmundo Arias, Santander Flores and Carlos Martelo.

The first vinyl reissue in many years, on LP from Discos Zopilote.
