Bueno, desde la ola polar en el norte del aqui va algo de Juancho Polo Valencia, el juglar de Flores de Maria, con una cancion que, por cierto, entra en la categoria de “canciones sobre la hierba”, algo poco usual en la cumbia y el vallenato colombiano.

give me some love / to calm the fever in my heart
pan flute (preset) synthed-up Andean cumbia romántica from Los Estados Unidos. I’m in ‘cagey digger’ mode plus my desk has eaten the jewelbox. I’m doing an hour-long cumbia mix for BBC radio 1 this weekend, you’ll hear this there too.

ever since I got into cumbia, the number of CDs/LPs in my record collection (read: piled on, around, and under my desk) with boobs n’ bikinis on the cover has skyrocketed. As has the number of out-of-tune vocals. People (others, not me) hate on autotune, but I think those same people would hate out-of-tune even more. I’m at the point where I like everything, it’s a great place.
Y asi nuestra amor durará
