Do Argentinians only beat Colombians in Football? check these beats out

Is it like rock in britain where they were outrocking the inventors of rock with the brit invasion?
Well It would be a nice thing if we had an argentinian invasion in Colombia . But Cumbia….No more Charly no more Fito please….
Let’s swap Fito Paez for HIjo de la Cumbia and Charly Garcia for Sandro Dalepedro ..Please , I do hate Charly and Colombians can’t seem to get enough of these people, their music is tired.. a copy of a copy, Charly wants to be Lennon and Fito wants to be Charly …. say no more… jejej now Sandro Delpedro wants to be Sandro Delpedro …judge youselves

love this song called Cumbia Junk …it is broken, glithy, wobbly and so not junk. art. ArtCumbia

Sandro Dalepedro – Cumbia Junk by sylordub-sandro dalepedro


039 the song , 039 the Artist

Alejo Durán the Accordeon King sang the original 039 , an old song about a girl getting kiddnapped by a taxi. (I guess it’s always been like that in Colombia).
Ay es que me duele, y es que me duele y es que me duele valgame Dios,
039, 039, 039 se la llevo
Mi negra se fue llorando y a mí esa cosa me duele
Se le llevo un maldito carro aquel 039.

Well the post isn’t about the dangers of living in Colombia or even about that song , 039 is also the name of a tropical electronic project by Mauricio Alvarez from Bogota.
He closed the cool Festival Centro in Bogota…Where Sonido Martines , Pernett and a bunch more played.

El Mago …Pernett

Pernett : Kmbia Raver from Barranquilla turned cumbia shaman.
Recently moved to Cali, had a kid and went mystical…well cumbia’s origins are mystical then it’s only natural. I’ve heard that Porro rythms were the ones used to honor Obatalá the African Yoruba God of creation and on this side of the atlantic the Kogi tribes native dances were adapted either dancing to the other planets in the solar system (dancing in a square) or fertility and crops (dancing in a circle).
This is a short documentary produced by Fabio Garcia on his new album and new topics but as always in the goodvibe zone.
