desertcart.com: Original Sound of Cumbia / Various: 0846833000639: ORIGINAL SOUND OF CUMBIA / VARIOUS: Books

Review: like field hollers with a groovy back beat - Raw, primal sounds from a well spring of numerous latin american sub genres. Accurately likened to a good cross section of delta blues, as so much of north american forms can trace their roots to that well spring. Delta blues was never so danceable, though. Will Holland has really immersed himself in this, and he should be commended for the results, an outstanding collection. You get the feeling of real pedigree with these tracks, like this is the genuine article. Liner notes give a nice synopsis of the development of this music but a track by track commentary is missed. The Anibal Velasquez collection on Analog Africa is another excellent compilation of one of the key participants featured here, his two tracks carefully chosen to avoid duplicating any of the tracks on that compilation. A feast of Colombian delights.
Review: ORIGINAL SOUND OF CUMBIA : HISTORY OF COLOMBIAN CUMBIA AND PORRO - EXCELLENT TEN STARS! THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC JEWEL FOR COLLECTORS OF FOLK LATIN MUSIC; THIS IS A TWO CD SET THAT CONTAINS 28 AND 27 TRACKS RESPECTIVELY OF COLOMBIAN CUMBIAS;THE FIRST CD IS FROM EARLIER TIMES IN THE FIFTIES WHILE THE SECOND IS FROM THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES. THESE CUMBIAS ARE MOSTLY UNKNOWN AND THAT IS EXACTLY THE VALUE OF THESE TWO CDS BECAUSE IT RESCUES OUR TRADITIONAL LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC IN THIS ERA OF DUMBNESS AND IDIOTIC POP MUSIC PRODUCED MY THE MASS MARKET GLOBALIZATION. I ALSO ENJOYED THE BOOKLET IT IS VERY INFORMATIVE.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good
*by C***N on May 16, 2013*

Great liner notes, packaging, and fun, raw, accordion and percussion driven cumbia.The real deal. Get it. I think the modern cumbia stuff gives the genre a bad name.This is the genuine article. Don't be surprised if you start hearing a lot more accordion in the next few years. What buena vista social club was to son and salsa, this represents the golden age of cumbia.
