LA CONGONA NEW CUMBIA

First of all,

I’ll present myself. I’m Benoit and I’m doing with Khiasma and Jeune Premier the radio show Masala Cism 89.3 in Montréal. I’m really happy and proud to have the occasion to write on La Congona! I’m harvesting a lot in cumbia and I’m really happy to share what I’m finding with all of you, cumbia aficionados.

For my first post, I want to share 3 tracks from Karol y su Amor gitano remixed that sound terribly deep and intense. This Cumbia rebajadas is made essentially in Mexico where they slow down the beat to adapt to a typical dance and to get more bass.

Karol y su amor is quite famous in Mexico. I’m not a big fan of the original track.

I really prefer the version made by the sonideros and believe it or not, the voice in those track is originally a girl voice.
