World Circuit records presents Cumbia Cumbia 1&2
Accordian chap

On March 19 World Circuit Records will release “Cumbia Cumbia 1 & 2” as a re-mastered double CD and limited edition double LP.

Originally released by World Circuit as two separate albums – ‘Cumbia Cumbia’ in 1989 and ‘Cumbia Cumbia 2’ in 1993 - this collection brings together some of the greatest recordings made by Colombia’s legendary record label, Discos Fuentes, between 1954 and 1988. In the lead up we will be sending out selected tracks from the album direct to your inbox. To begin with, here is Adolfo Echeverría Y Su Conjunto’s “Ameneciento”.

 
Adolfo Echeverría Y Su Conjunto’s 'Ameneciento'
 
 

Adolfo Echeverría’s unique style is rooted in that coastal resort which has nurtured many leading musicians in the Tropical style. His distinctive vocal style is refreshingly light and nasal, with a strangely attractive delivery and occasional vagueness that leaves words fading in the air.

A fabulously languid production where instruments move casually around the cool, jaunty piano, and short trombone refrains emerge as if from sea-mist. The pianist sneakily fragments the melody into jumpy, bebop-like chords in a briefly spiky jam session before the singer returns.
