Programa #129 - Colombia

 

Ah, Colombia. It never stops giving. Its cumbia always livens up the dance floor. Not unlike Puerto Rican or Cuban salsa, there’s a motivational spark in its rhythm that propels the public forward (two-step, front and back, left then right…) You don’t even have to be well-coordinated to enjoy yourself. Letting it all hang out is the way to go. Just listen! JH

P.S. Colombian musicians also dig salsa and play it with gusto. You don’t name your act “Puerto Rico y Su Combo” unless you can handle both Caribbean and Pacific Coast rhythms. But leave it to Clodomiro (must be a family name) Montes, heard here bringing the salsa. Y así es. If you sit through this entire set you lose all your dance tickets and your membership in the club. - JH
