El Joe died. He wasnt just salsa…he worked with cumbiones, chande, soukus (champeta), soka, cumbia sometimes everything mixed together the rythm is a chandé with salsa piano licks.

Get better Joe!!!!

The Modern Music of Colombia….by Dj Canalh from France

newcumbia — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:13:05 +0000

Taken from generation bass. French DJ Canalh (whose mixes have been on GenBass many times) was living in Colombia, and before leaving he made a special Mixtape!!
and he also wrote the note:

“Colombian music is as powerful and influential as the American, Jamaican and UK music, isn’t it?
Many have a special interest in salsa, cumbia tropical music of the 70s, the Golden Age of Discos Fuentes label, Sonolux, Victoria, Tambora, etc.. But to restrict it would be a mistake.
Indeed, the dynamism of modern music of Colombians and those in the diaspora is undeniable.
This mix / compilation whose artwork and design were carried out by Colombian, proposes to prove it.
Some troublemakers have come to interfere in the playlist, these are foreigners who have or are working closely with Colombian, in the case of Quantic, Robert Santiago, Charles Tox.
But the quality of the music, the diversity of Colombian artists is impressive, and despite that, I had to leave some on the way! The first third of the mix is slightly political, inevitable, but the 2 / 3 that remain are a party, what seemed like a good translation of that amazing country music, right? That’s it … Colombia … Goodbye”

ZZK’s Fauna /VillaDiamante feat. Pernett freestyling

newcumbia — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:08:18 +0000

Oh man, what a night last friday thanks to the freaky friday organizers…they bring international cumbia peeps mixed with our local futuristic sound.
Nice people those argentinians , so low key and down to earth they are exactly the opposite of what colombians think of argentos (arrogant, stuck up etc..)
Some dubspetty cumbia, mixed with argentinian raggae rappin style, mindboggling bass sounds and a drunken Pernett rappin about weed , later on he got even more drunk and rapped about ganja and after he was wasted he sang about the medicine wonders of …yeah you guessed… marijuana.
Beautiful girls! Black , white ,brown and everything in between …just swirling their hips to the cumbia swing, raising the tension, the place was so packed and hot it was impossible feeling their hips and naked shoulders.
Looking foreward to the next freaky friday baby!!!!

Dargelos and Dante in a cumbia…Cumpa mero mero

newcumbia — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:35:36 +0000

2 90′s icons from latin rock a Babasonico and a Kuriaki from Argentina rappin with mexicanisms doin’ a peruvian cumbia which is originally from Colombia.

Dargelo’s has got to be one of my favorite lyricists in castellano…it’s fun 2 hear him in a cumbia….
De todas las mentiras te prefiero a ti vida mia.

Rihanna Colegiala correction…oooops

newcumbia — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:12:31 +0000

I don’t know who to blame, the colombian media, Rodolfo Aicardi, myself for not knowing peruvian cumbia that much…
all I know is they have these great surf guitar sounds, psychodelia from the 70′s . Colegiala’s author is WALTER LEON from Peru …this one played by Los Mirlos another classic song I’ve heard all my life iis also Walter ‘s baby.
