Cumbia Sampuesana – Francisco Zapata

I’ve heard about this group a couple month ago and Just recently got the album. Really interesting formation from Colombia.

I could talk more about it but I think this mini-documentary about them worth the view!

I brought down the bitrate on this one (I’m generous, but not THAT generous). A special Cinco de Mayo Kumbia!!!!!!!!! DEADLY. Even deadlier is the version from Sonido Condor, which we blogged over here .
