Homenaje A La Musica Colombiana (Released: April 15, 2010)
After several years spent at the heart of the New York arts scene, Toshio Kajiwara, aka Bing, returned to Tokyo with this magnificent collection of Columbian music in his suitcase. It has been put together somewhat in the way of Sublime Frequencies compilations. You’ll find extracts of radio speeches against drug trafficking or US interventionism alongside traditional Columbian cumbia and famous songs such as ‘El Pescador’ (brilliantly sung by Toto La Momposina), la gaita ‘Soledad’ by the Orquesta Monteria Swing, or more modern pieces such as the mix of rasqa rock and creole rumba by Velandia y La Tigra. To think we had to transit via Japan to discover these Columbian treasures!
