Conjunto Miramar - Cumbias Con El Miramar (vampi soul, 1965)

Cumbias con el Miramarî is a very hard-to-find, sought-after album released by Discos Fuentes in 1965. Full of excellent cumbias and gaitas for dancing, the record actually is a lot more diverse than the title leads one to believe, as there are lots of other hot rhythms and arrangements on it, taken from Cuban genres like guajira, guaracha, guaguanco, charanga and son montuno. All but one of its compositions come from the conjunto£s own musicians, with the bulk being written by Hernan Builes and Hector Quintero. Throughout the album the very simple, spare elemental sound is consistent. The band members at this time included Dario Restrepo (aka ™Guayabitaî) on piano, Ruben Dario Restrepo (™El Magoî) on guitar, Hector Quintero on saxophone, clarinet, flute, xylophone and vocals, Hugo Gil (™Chamizoî) behind the drum set as well as on tumbadora (conga) and vocals, with Hernan Builes being the band£s director and bassist (and occasional accordionist).

Los Charly's Orchestra ‎– Rediscovering The Big Apple (Imagenes, 2013)

 

Imagenes Recordings proudly present Los Charly's Orchestra 2nd album - Rediscovering The Big Apple.The two Venezuelan producers Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel keep digging their inspiration and interest in bringing back to live the spirit of the sounds of New York City in the late 60's and 70's from their own Charly's perspective.
The release contain 10 songs including some brand new material plus some of the tracks that were previously released as singles on collectable 7" over the past two years, all 100% analogically re mastered for a deeper sound.
Fania, Salsoul, Joe Bataan, Cal Tjader, Willie Colon, Joe Cuba, Charlie Palmieri, Bobby Matos, etc, etc, etc, they are all clear influences and inspiration on the making of this musical journey that travels from the very early times of Latin Funk, Soul & Boogaloo, to the genre that was to unify the whole Hispanic America under one groove: Salsa, and beyond.
The old and the new school of heavy Salsa merges on the tune "Ten Cuidao" in a pure barrio styled groove directly from the heart of Seven Sisters. Imagine Charlie Palmieri & Willie Colon meets Joe Arroyo & Los Charly's Orchestra... for a new collaboration... while the super refreshing Cha Cha sound of "On the Other Side" fuses with the soul of lead vocalist Andre Espeut's for the latest LCO's Cha Cha-Soul experiment which sounds as if Roy Ayers was making Latin music.
