Description
Twenty rarities and deep cuts from the early years of Fruko y Sus Tesos on legendary label Discos Fuentes. A collection of powerful Colombian salsa dura for the serious collector, DJ and dancer, but also enjoyable for those just discovering Fruko for the first time.
2LP including an insert with photos and liner notes by DJ Bongohead (of Peace & Rhythm).
Description
The two-volume collection Fruko Poweris not an homage, career overview, greatest hits or ‘best of’ collection showcasing the evolution of Fruko (Julio Ernesto Estrada Rincón), the Renaissance Man of Colombian tropical music. Instead, this compilation series shines a light on a lesser-known side of the bassist and band leader’s work during the early 1970s with Fruko y Sus Tesos, reissuing in physical form many of his rare or hard to find salsa 45s as well as a few deep album cuts from the first half decade of his career, assembled in chronological order.
There are interesting cover versions as well as originals, some of which never appeared on an LP. All of Fruko’s classic vocalists are represented, from early collaborators Humberto “Huango” Muriel and Edulfamid “Píper Pimienta” Díaz to golden-era stars Joe Arroyo and Wilson “Saoko” Manyoma.
Fruko Power is less for the newcomer and more for the serious salsa collector, DJ and dancer who may have a few of the maestro’s albums or hits but wants to dig deeper and have all these obscure rarities in one place. However, it also serves as an excellent compendium of powerful Latin dance tracks by Fruko y Sus Tesos that have stood the test of time, so even those who do not know much of his work will be sure to feel the power of Fruko.
