Man I get more response to not writing or posting anything than when I do! Actually any and all responses are much appreciated and I’m grateful when anyone pipes up, ‘cepting spam and haterade.
This week a couple of tracks that end up in what I like to call the CumbVin (that would be vintage cumbia) section of my music library which has been fairly neglected in representation as far as the blog goes. I’m not quite sure why that is, because the last few years have seen this particular category growing at a prodigious rate round my gates. As soon as I made the link between the killer tunes that our old mucker Burnt Friedman used to haul over from Atom Heaart’s gaff in Chile (to be far there was a fair few reggae sides going back the other way) when he stayed with us in the late 90s’/early 00s’ – and the Discos Fuentes label (who have heaps on iTunes by the way, lose yourself and don’t be put off by the covers!) … well I was off.
I could go on and on about the wonders of the Colombian label (and the Soundway Colombia comp is a cracking place to start, if you haven’t already checked it) or how discovering its unfathomable treasures has probably been the nearest I’ve come to the feeling of first launching into Studio One and the epiphany that that was. So you know, its big.
Here’s a couple of crackers to whet your appetite and as I said easily available from iTunes and all over so… no excuses, limited time 192’s it is.
I managed to find the pic of Pacho Galan and crew below, which isn’t the one on all the endearingly nasty Discos Fuentes covers, but Rufo Garrido seems a hard feller to track down photographically – too busy heading to the moon and making silly noises methinks.

And Aromatherapy is on as ever from 8.30 Thursday night at the Ginger Minx, thought I’d give you a break from the Magic Trees…
What no blurb?! Scandalous! haha, but seriously, on radio and net, who else sets themselves a herculean task of keeping the world of music awoft week after week?
hear hear Robin.
senor olfato loving the links.
luv to you & the missus
stinkinc always leads me to getting lost in deep depths of interspace. aquariusrecords.org is also worth a gander I reckon.
I am a grandaughter of Rufo Garrido and had the honor of meeting him and listening him playing the Sax when I was about 12 years old. Yes indeed a hard “feller” to find in a picture. My father is his son and lives in Colombia.
Howdy anonymous grandaughter
Wow!! Thanks so much for commenting. Cumbia En La Luna is one of my favourites and I often play it (and other Rufo Garrido gems) when I’m DJing as it puts me, and whoever is listening, in an upful mood. Great genes you have there! All the best
