How many cumbia records do you have? Okay smart ass, how many good cumbia records..., wait, let's just cut to the chase. How many cumbia collections do you have, compiled by people who know vintage cumbia? Whatever. I'm not here to get into a cumbia pissing match. Just wanted to point you towards two good mixes that you ought to check out. Listening to these suckers actually motivated me to do the dishes. Yes, really.
The first one I sampled was at Musica del Alma, and is comprised of cumbia records scored by Slim Jenkins when he was in Colombia earlier this year. Seeing as how I know nothing about cumbias, and I don't plan on traveling to Colombia any time soon, it was a no brainer. The other one is ¡Guepa Caramba!, a seventeen song mix at Nerdtorious, and is equally badass.
