DESCRIPTION
SON PALENQUE -
Masters of palenquera innovation
In the history of Afro-Colombian culture, Son Palenque is without a doubt an exceptional band, and its history has a place at the very heart of ancestral palenquera music as well as at the musical intersection between Africa and Colombia, which took place on Colombia's Caribbean coast in the 70s and 80s and which continues today through champeta, a musical genre and dance that also bears a strong African influence.
The members of Son Palenque band grew up in rural communities fixed in time, with deep musical roots, duels between tambora players and a legendary musical profusion of traditional musicians that built the foundations of today's Afro-Colombian music.
Later they all migrated to the city and bit by bit made a place for themselves. The story of this record starts on a night just like any other, at a picó, a musical block party, of the Pablo VI neighborhood, in the city of Cartagena. It was the peak of Afro-Coastal psychedelic music, of African music and of an endless number of musical fusions. Excited by the gigantic party they had been at until dawn, rocked by the deafening noise of the speakers and the records played at the picó, a few friends went to the beaches of Marbella and improvised a musical rumba; one of them grabbed a beer
can, the other one a stick, Justo Valdez sang his beautiful melodies and the magic of palenquera music grew mystically in front of the waters of the endless sea. "That's where Son Palenque was born," recalls Justo with excitement and nostalgia. Enrique Tejedor and Luciano Torres as the back-up singers, his brother Tomás Valdez in the tambor alegre (a Colombian drum), Pánfilo Valdez as the second lead vocalist...
Little by little the group started to consolidate itself. The first chance came in 1980, when they recorded their first single for the Fonobosa record label. Two years later they recorded an LP, again with Fonobosa, along with Estefanía Caicedo. Later on the band signed with the label Felito Records, in Barranquilla, which during the 80s produced some of the finest gems of psychedelic and Afro-roots music of the time. With Felito Records a new era began for the group. They recorded the LPs "Ane Jue" and "African Erotic" for Félix Brutón, the owner of the label, with sound engineering from Eduardo Dávila and the participation of great musicians like Michi Sarmiento on saxophone, Abelardo Carbonó on guitar, and his brother Abe on bass, among others. These two LPs were a milestone in the history of Afro-Colombian music: for the first time they showed us traditional palenquera music, chalupa, bullerengue, lumlalú and other traditional rhythms mixed with modern arrangements of bass, guitar and saxophone on extraordinary records.
Later on the group recorded three LPs for the CBS music label: "Larepa' Sa", "Los trotamundos del sabor" and "Kaine Sound Band", with the production of Willie Salcedo and the sound engineering of Alfonso Abril. These albums were recorded in the Unisón studios in Barranquilla. In the mid-90s, the musical scene underwent significant changes. The LP industry started to decline, new technologies for digital recording appeared, sequencers and effects, that forever changed the future of music. Son Palenque lost its recording contract, and Justo Valdez started recording songs as a solo artist for the nascent industry of champeta criolla.
In 1999 Son Palenque recorded for the label Palenque Records the song 'Kumina', a long with guitarist Sekou Diabate "The Gold Fingers", legendary leader of the band Bebeya Jazz (Guinea-Conakry). Subsequently they recorded for the same label, under the production of Lucas Silva, the record "Ma Kamajan Ri Musika Ri Palengue", released in 2012, which marked the folkloric group's resurrection. And so Son Palenque continues to play, 30 years after its foundation, and still has a bright future ahead of it. The band has gone through various phases throughout time and they always come back innovating and breaking the mold, with the depth of their roots, their legacy and mastery in the composition of songs, masters in the conception of a unique musical universe.

DESCRIPTION
During the golden age of vinyl—from the 1960s through the 1980s—Colombia produced an astonishing number of 45 rpm records—many of them not tied to full albums, that continue to surprise collectors and music lovers today.
This abundance can be attributed to many factors: affordability, jukebox demand, radio promotion, or simply the joy of sharing a small musical token with a loved one. Whatever the reason, these little records traveled far and wide, sometimes ending up in distant countries —especially Mexico—, carried by DJs, collectors, or pirate radio waves. They became cultural passports, spreading salsa, cumbia, son montuno, and more.
This curated collection highlights hard-to-find salsa 45s from the Discos Fuentes vaults—deep cuts that have long flown under the radar but still light up dance floors today. These tracks, once pressed in small numbers, feature top tier musicianship, fiery brass, unforgettable grooves, and lyrical gems that reflect the rich diversity of Colombia’s musical landscape.
Among the featured artists are: Super Combo “Los Famosos” with their irresistible barrio anthem ‘El Bailador de la esquina’, capturing the spirit of Cali’s street life, Sexteto Manaure, delivering a poignant son that blends regional pride with poetic nostalgia, La Protesta de Colombia, a revolutionary Barranquilla outfit that gave a young Joe Arroyo his early spotlight and channeled the rebellious pulse of the times.
This compilation also includes a range of studio experiments and covers—where artists like Piper Pimienta, Galileo y Su Banda, and La Integración reimagined beloved hits, from boleros to vallenatos, through a distinctly Colombian salsa lens.
Every track tells a story—of artistic ambition, social change, regional identity, or simple joy. Some were attempts at hits, others personal expressions or studio curiosities. What they share is an authenticity that continues to resonate.
These obscure gems, long scattered across dusty crates and forgotten jukeboxes, now find new life. They speak not just to the past, but to a timeless rhythm that still moves dancers and dreamers alike.

DESCRIPTION
Alfredo “El Inca” Linares is one of the most talented and beloved musicians in salsa history. Fans are drawn to his piano playing for its authentic Cuban feel and swing, paired with progressive arrangements and bold, uncompromising phrasing reminiscent of Eddie Palmieri. As a composer, arranger, and bandleader, Linares commands deep respect across the salsa world.
Since the 1960s in Lima, Peru—where his career first took off—his records have consistently hit the mark: tight, sharp, and hard as hell. It’s what salseros call salsa brava con afinque. His 1973 anthem, ‘Tiahuanaco,’ is widely considered one of Linares’ greatest and most iconic tracks, receiving international releases at the time.
Fruko (Julio Ernesto Estrada Rincón), the Renaissance Man of Colombian tropical music, included a version of the song on the original U.S. release of his critically acclaimed LP “A la Memoria del Muerto” (retitled “La Fruta Bomba” for the U.S. market…). Despite its undeniable dance floor appeal, this recording has never been released on a DJ friendly 45—until now!

The album features their psychedelic rock hit ‘Cuarto oscuro,’ a highly sought-after track not only among cumbia collectors but also garage and psych DJs.
This compilation is a joint release with Peruvian label Rey Record and includes an insert with never-before seen photos of the band, as well as liner notes by expert Víctor Zela (creator of the acclaimed project "La Cumbia de mis Viejos").

DESCRIPTION
This compilation brings together for the first time the best songs by Los Zheros, one of the most renowned cumbia bands to emerge in the early 1970s in Iquitos—alongside groups like Los Rogers and Los Wemblers—in the heart of Peru's Amazon capital.
The unique Amazonian sound blended fast, percussive cumbia rhythms with electric guitars in a surf style—a distinctive fusion that came to define Peruvian-recorded cumbia, markedly different from the traditional cumbia styles that developed in other cumbia-producing countries like Colombia.
The album includes their psychedelic rock hit ‘Cuarto Oscuro,’ a highly sought-after track not only by cumbia collectors but also by garage and psychedelic DJs. This song also marked the beginning of their recording career in 1973.
This compilation is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and comes with an insert featuring never- before-seen photos of the band, as well as liner notes by genre expert Víctor Zela (the mind behind the prestigious project "La Cumbia de mis Viejos").

DESCRIPTION
Ranil is undoubtedly the most unconventional figure among the greats of Amazonian cumbia, earning a well-deserved place alongside all the better-known iconic bands. He worked as a teacher, criollo guitarist, radio host, TV entrepreneur, and politician, but gained lasting fame as the founder of Ranil y Su Conjunto Tropical in the 1970s.
By 1968, around the same time Los Destellos were making waves in Lima, groups like Los Wembler’s de Iquitos and Juaneco y su Combo began electrifying cumbia in Iquitos. This new genre, dubbed Amazonian cumbia, exploded nationwide in 1973, thanks to hits by Juaneco y su Combo, Los Mirlos, and Los Wembler’s. The success these bands achieved spawned dozens of other groups from the Amazon. Ranil, always a visionary, recognized the movement’s potential and joined forces through his first single recorded on the Dinsa label in 1974. Unhappy with the contractual terms, he went on to found Producciones Llerena, the label on which he would release the rest of his discography.
Over the years, Ranil y su Conjunto Tropical featured guitarists like Límber Zumba and Luis Nigro, while Ranil remained the lead vocalist and bassist for group. Zumba and Nigro had already played with other regional bands and written songs for groups like Los Destellos and Los Mirlos.
This compilation offers a glimpse into the vast musical output Ranil created in the late 1970s and early 1980s, bringing together 14 tracks from the band’s 10 LPs. These records have always been hard to come by as, despite being recorded in Lima, they were distributed by Ranil from Iquitos. Psychedelia, rock fusion, cumbia, salsa, mambo, Amazonian folk… you’ll find all these flavors blended into the vibrant, jungle-rich sound Ranil crafted.

DESCRIPTION
La Cuota b/w Darling is the lead-off single for El Combo Batanga's second full-length album and debut with Ubiquity Records. La Cuota on the A-side kicks the doors down with its undeniable energy and harkens back to the funkier moments in Fania's catalog with Ray Barretto. Darling on the B-side is an intense slow burn, a captivating Latin sweet soul ballad bursting with emotion and longing. El Combo Batanga is a musical explosion at the intersection of Afro-Cuban rhythms and Latin funk. A group of powerful musicians who blend son, timba, Latin soul, and boogaloo for people to enjoy.

“Dame café”, originally released on Discos Fuentes in 1965 to meet the tropical music demand of the time, features a mix of traditional rhythms like vallenato and cumbia, alongside more experimental beats.
Los Gavilanes de la Costa, the band behind this album, had a brief existence but left a lasting impact, especially in Mexico's sonidero scene.
Over the years, pirate editions and elusive original copies have made it a highly sought-after collector’s item. The album’s lively sound, combining accordion melodies, deep bass, and vibrant guacharaca rhythms, continues to resonate in the tropical music scene.

DESCRIPTION
The vibrant musical scene of the 1960s in Colombia owes much to a group of versatile accordionists who blended genres such as cumbia, charanga, guaracha, vallenato, and Cuban-influenced rhythms. This group included notable figures like Andrés Landero, Aníbal Velásquez, Lisandro Meza, and Alfredo Gutiérrez, among others.
A prime example of their diverse musical styles is the album “Dame café”, released in November 1965, which features a mix of traditional rhythms like vallenato and cumbia, alongside more experimental beats such as paseaíto and pasaje. The album includes six previously released singles composed by José Castro, Policarpo Calle, and others. The album highlights the commercial strategy of Discos Fuentes, which often created short-lived studio bands to meet the tropical music demand of the time.
Los Gavilanes de la Costa, the band behind “Dame café”, had a brief existence but left a lasting impact, especially in Mexico's sonidero scene. The group’s creation was driven by the high demand for tropical music in the 1960s, with many musicians adjusting to market trends. Most of the members, including composers Campillo and Castro, vanished from the scene, while others, like Calle and Zambrano, went on to have notable careers in music. Calle, in particular, became a cumbia legend, later settling in Mexico City.
The album “Dame café” has gained cult status due to its rarity and the intrigue surrounding its origins. The album features a remarkable contribution from Colombian jazz legend Justo Almario, who, at just 16 years old, played tenor sax on the track ‘Pues no da pa’ más’. Over the years, pirate editions and elusive original copies have made it a highly sought-after collector’s item. The album’s lively sound, combining accordion melodies, deep bass, and vibrant guacharaca rhythms, continues to resonate in the tropical music scene.

Mediocampo (1984), Jaime Roos's fifth album concludes an unintentional trilogy that began with Aquello (1981) and continued with Siempre son las cuatro (1982). It is the bright side of the series, a groundbreaking album that has become a classic, perhaps the most prestigious and well-known work of his discography.
Mediocampo is as daring and experimental as his previous two works, but with much more direct and accessible communication, achieving an almost perfect distillation of his artistic vision. Today, many of its songs are an essential part of Montevideo's cultural soundtrack.

DESCRIPTION
The album's sound, aligned with international trends of the 1980s, made Mediocampo the gateway to Jaime Roos's universe for a younger audience approaching music through rock. Its proposal was unique and deeply Uruguayan, yet it incorporated elements that resonated with a public accustomed to Anglo-Saxon pop.
The albums Aquello and Siempre son las cuatro, despite being very different works, share a focus on the Beatles-inspired pop song structure, stylistic diversity, and a search for popular roots. Mediocampo, the conclusion of this song-driven trilogy, is as daring and experimental as its predecessors but with much more direct and accessible communication, achieving an almost perfect distillation of his artistic vision. Today, many of its songs are an essential part of Montevideo's cultural soundtrack.

DESCRIPTION
Salsa pianist, vocalist, composer and arranger Ray Pérez, acquired his nickname “Loco” by being a free, independent spirit, an innovator and iconoclast who was initially branded as “crazy” for the freshness and audacity of his sound.
Amazingly, he is not that well known in the US, where he spent some time in the late 1960s and salsa was king during the 1970s. Yet he was quite popular in his home country from the beginning, especially amongst the working class of Caracas and Maracaibo, who adopted Cuban music played by New York Puerto Ricans as their own and called it “salsa” years before the term was employed by US labels like Fania as a marketing tool. Pérez is revered in Venezuela, as well as in Mexico and Colombia, and his storied career, which spans seven decades and thousands of concerts, has yielded more than 35 albums recorded by his various bands, including Los Dementes, Los Kenya, and Los Calvos, all of which are collector’s items today.
These two hot tracks were released in the early 70s and became instant dance floor fillers. In fact, ‘Muchacho Barrigón’ crossed over beyond the Venezuelan salsa scene and a few versions of the tune were recorded by international artists. How cool and handy is to have both songs together on a DJ-friendly 45? First time 7” reissue.

Welcome to the psychedelic vibes of this weed-inspired double sider where Colombian salsa and Peruvian cumbia meet!
‘Cannabis’ is a killer organ-driven salsa song recorded by Colombian music legend Fruko while ‘Marihuana’ by Los Darlings de Huanuco was conceived as an effort to combine rock and cumbia sounds resulting a perfectly balanced mix of both worlds.
First time 7” reissue of these extremely hard to find records!

DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the psychedelic vibes of this weed-inspired double sider where Colombian salsa and Peruvian cumbia meet!
Julio Ernesto Estrada Rincón aka Fruko has probably had one the busiest recording careers in the salsa biz! Not only did Discos Fuentes release some 18 full LPs under the “Fruko” banner over a 20-year period, in addition there were various side-projects like Afrosound and Orquesta Full Salsa, and also one-off studio projects like Los Pambelé. ‘Cannabis’ is the only song released under this name and happens to be a killer organ-driven weed inspired salsa song that funnily enough was renamed ‘Yerbabuena’ (peppermint) when included on a 1972 compilation…
On the flipside, we find Los Darlings de Huanuco, a pioneer band in introducing rock sounds into the local music scene of this Peruvian city. Under the inspiration of international bands such as Led Zeppelin, Santana or The Ventures and also local artists like Jean Paul “El Troglodita” or Los York’s they recorded ‘Marihuana’. Since the band background was cumbia, the resulting sound of the song is a perfect combination of both worlds despite the original idea was recording a rock number.
First time 7” reissue of these extremely hard to find records!
