9 MÚSICA TRADITIONAL Y POPULAR COLOMBIANA
EL LITORAL PACIFICO / Aguacerito llové
TRADITIONAL AND POPULAR MUSIC FROM COLUMBIA
THE PACIFIC COAST / Little rain
Procultura S.A., 1987, ?
This album is the number 9 of a very good series of 16 albums issued by Columbian label Procultura, each LP focusing on a special area or type of music in Colimbia.
Here it's about a large zone on the Pacific Ocean that covers parts of the departments of Choco, Valle del Cauca and Cauca y Nariño. A good part of the population is black (Los Morenos) mixed with Indians and white people. So the instruments are the marimba, the chirimia, lots of percussions. Singing is dominant. African and Spanish influences are very strong; the bands were recorded between 1979 and 1983 locally or in Bogota. There are two tracks with some clarinet playing.
The ''slogan'' at the bottom of the cover on the right says ''let's learn to love our music''. There is a fascicule is Spanish that is not included here.
Thank you, this album is lovely! :-)
