about

If Bach can go Moog, so can cumbia!

This surprisingly funky novelty tune has one of those break-beat intros that loop makers drool for. Weird synth noodles and chipmunk chorus vocals only add to the “what the?” factor (in a good way!). On the flipside, another updated Costeño classic, with crazy synth noodles, scratchy guitar looping and odd vocals. Hats off to Fruko and Fuentes for letting this experiment in Afro-modernization happen.

---------------------

Si se puede tocar a Bach con un moog, ¡también se puede tocar cumbia!

Esta melodía sorprendentemente funky tiene una de esas intros con breaks de las que hacen babear a los productores de beats. Los toques bizarros de sintetizador y las extrañas voces incluidas en la grabación producen reacciones del tipo "¿pero… qué es esto?" (¡en el buen sentido!). En la otra cara, otro clásico costeño radicalmente actualizado, con arreglos disparatados de sintetizador, bucles de guitarras rasposas y vocales alocadas. Hay que quitarse el sombrero ante Fruko y Discos Fuentes por lograr que este experimento de afro-modernización se publicara.
