Diablos Del Ritmo - The Colombian Melting Pot 1975-1985 (Part 2)

Double Gatefold LP Version (Part 2) In the mid-20th century, African music made its way to Colombia's vibrant port city of Barranquilla. After five years, in which seven expeditions were made to Barranquilla, Analog Africa is honoured to present "Diablos del Ritmo," an anthology of - and tribute to - the immense sound of 1970s Colombia. Thousands of records were collected, boiling down to a colourfully diverse selection of tracks. Volume Two features an array of danceable tropical rhythms of Puya, Porro, Gaita, Cumbiamba, Mapalé, Chandéon. The deep cuts of Analog Africa's 12th compilation will instantly transport any listener to Colombia's thriving Caribbean coast to indulge in the succulent belly of tropical music's untold historic tales.
