LAS FLORES DEL SOL by NILAMAYE
Description
Wonderful, joyous new recordings of Afro-Colombian roots music, from the Pacific coast of the country. Tip!Warm, rolling marimba de chonta; thumping cununo and bombo drums, and rhythmic, digressive alegre; crisp, ringing, move-your-body guasas and maracas; all-out singing, gorgeous and exuberant, full of life.
It's hard to track down music in this style, and this is a downright tremendous example; a musical elixir.
In handsome, silk-screened sleeves, too.
