The new record is a testament to the musical prowess of this giant of Colombian rhythms with a seminal influence on the history of its music. Currulao is a purely African rhythm; it is employed equally in singing about the misfortunes of love, feasts of the saints, or for lamenting the loss of a child. After more than five centuries of neglect, the Pacific coast of Colombia, one of the country's best kept secrets is gradually beginning to shed its isolation and obscurity.Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:38:05 -0600http://peregoyo.afropopshop.org/#album_18238
