about

Pedro “Ramayá” Beltrán, born in Patico, a small town in Colombia’s Bolívar province, is a maestro of Colombian folkloric music known as the King of the ‘caña de millo’ flute, although he is also proficient in various percussion instruments as well as the reed instrument known as ‘gaita’.

He founded La Cumbia Moderna de Soledad in the early 1970s. With this group he set out to “modernize” the folkloric music of his people, adding electric bass and a brass section to fresh arrangements of cumbias, porros, fandangos, puyas and other costeño genres.

“La Clavada” (1979) was La Cumbia Moderna de Soledad’s sixth record and first for Codiscos’ Costeño imprint. The LP has many excellent examples of Beltrán’s inventive mix of the ancient and the modern, making for a collection of tunes brimming with tradition and yet fearlessly bristling with innovation, not the least of which is ‘Crees que soy sexy’, with its gaita refrain mimicking the main melody of Rod Stewart’s international disco smash ‘Da Ya Think I’m Sexy’. The album’s title song was a massive hit in Colombia and has become a standard of the genre.

Pedro “Ramayá” Beltrán, es un maestro de la música folclórica colombiana. Con su grupo La Cumbia Moderna de Soledad trató de modernizarla a comienzos de los 70s, añadiendo bajo eléctrico y una sección de metales con arreglos frescos de géneros como cumbias, porros, fandangos, puyas y otros estilos costeños.

‘La Clavada’ (1979) fue el sexto disco de La Cumbia Moderna de Soledad y el primero para la discográfica Codiscos. Contiene un conjunto de canciones que rebosa tradición e innovación, no siendo menos importante su ‘Crees que soy sexy’ con un estribillo al estilo gaita que emula la melodía principal del éxito de Rod Stewart. La canción que da título al álbum fue un éxito masivo en Colombia hasta convertirse en un clásico del género.

Después de haber restaurado su glorioso sonido original, este álbum está listo para ser redescubierto como una joya innovadora y a la vez fiel a sus raíces.
