Various Artists - Cumbias Cumbias Cumbias (Fuentes), Colombia


Discos Fuentes was and still is Colombia's most important record label. Specially if we are talking about Cumbia. Fuentes is based in MedellĂ­n and was founded by Antonio Fuentes Estrada. You can blindly buy anything this label has put out in Cumbia realms. This one here is a killer record with fourteen amazing Cumbia's sure to blow up the dancefloor. Although some songs are quite classically played most of the tracks are played pretty fast and energetic. My personal favourite is the song "Esperma y Ron" (can it get any more Colombian!?) which has also been played by famous Colombian Cumbia group Afrosound among others. You can find many Fuentes releases over at this great blog here. I'd recommend it to you!

UPDATE: The word "Esperma" in Colombia refers to the liquid that drops off of candles. Hence the great album cover!
