Diablos Del Ritmo - The Colombian Melting Pot 1960- 1985

32 song double CD version with 60-page booklet inclusive of 40 vintage photographs, 24 interviews and documented first-hand knowledge. In the mid-20th century, African music made its way to Colombia`s vibrant port city of Barranquilla. After five years, in which seven expeditions were made to Barranquilla, Analog Africa is honoured to present "Diablos del Ritmo," an anthology of - and tribute to - the immense sound of 1970s Colombia. Thousands of records were collected, boiling down to a colourfully diverse selection of 32 tracks split between Afrobeat, Palenque Sounds, Tropical Funk, Terapia and psychedila rhythms on Part 1 and an array of danceable tropical rhythms of Puya, Porro, Gaita, Cumbiamba, Mapalá, Chandé on on Part 2. The deep cuts of Analog Africa`s 12th compilation will instantly transport any listener to Colombia`s thriving Caribbean coast to indulge in the succulent belly of tropical music`s untold historic tales.
