Birth of Jungle Cumbia
The first recorded instance of jungle cumbia!
Available Dec. 10th, 2013. Dating back to 1970 and 1972, these are the forgotten first recordings of legendary jungle cumbia pioneers Juaneco y su Combo. This is the band with the jungle factor turned up to 11-before they were signed by a big label and before they were produced to appeal to an audience outside the Amazon region. The first instance of a jungle band recording their own compositions, this album captures a unique moment in Latin music history. It also flat out rocks. It comes with a lavishly designed, informative 28 page booklet that goes into depth about the group, the region and the songs.
