about

Edna Martinez pays a heartfelt tribute to her birthplace in Valledupar with another entry of Cintas Elefandes- a colorful showcase of Vallenato, the passionate , accordion-driven genre that spreads from the tributaries of the Cesar river in northern Colombia. A bittersweet mix that sits just right with an open bottle of rum, or the soul remedy of your choice.

"La leyenda narra que, una noche, el juglar iba como siempre sacando algunas notas de su acordeón y cantando para hacer más ligero el camino. De repente se dio cuenta que cada melodía que interpretaba era respondida con una aún mejor por otro músico que no lograba divisar en la oscuridad.

Francisco decidió seguir la melodía de su adversario hasta que por fin lo divisó entre la penumbra de la noche. De pronto un rayo de luz de luna penetró la penumbra y la silueta de su contendor se hizo evidente, se trataba del diablo. Fue entonces cuando el juglar comprendió que se estaba enfrenando en el máximo duelo, miró al cielo, y rezó el Credo al revés y entonó la melodía más hermosa jamás escuchada. Ante tal despliegue de habilidad, Satanás escapó entre las penumbras dejando como ganador del duelo a Francisco."

- Leyenda De Francisco El Hombre / El Acordeón del Diablo

La Locura de Machuca 1975-1980 (Analog Africa Nr. 30)
by Analog Africa

supported by 5 fans who also own “Memoria Vallenata”

Another golden compilation from AA! Great introduction to Afro-Colombian psychedelia via the Discos Machuca back catalogue. These songs are full of infectious percussion, trance-inducing rhythms, sun-soaked melodies, and hauntingly beautiful vocals. Hard to pick a favourite song, but I've played side D the most. j j headington
