Colombian traditional music was totally new to me thanks to this LP which was issued probably in the early seventies. Although Andean music from Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador was widely performed by many bands in France, Colombia was quite ignored at the time. This LP although more or less well recorded was a good way to have a glimpse of the various types of music with new instruments like the marimba, the bandola, the tiple, the chirimia or the gaita. Now it is easier to get good Colombian singers and musicians on CDs. So G. Kremer the ''sound hunter'' as he was dubbed on French Radio France had an important role in spreading those exotic musics. Black, Indian and metis styles are presented here from almost all the regions of the country.
