European awareness of cumbia has grown greatly in the early twentieth century and there’s probably a broader sense now that it has been around as a genre for decades. On this Rocafort Records now turns its attentions to the vaults of the Discos Tropical label (having already scoured the vaults of the larger Discos Fuentes label on Vol. 1 ) for six more classics from back in the day on Cumbia Sabrosa Vol. 2: Sonidero Bangers From The Discos Tropical Vaults. Once again also, liner notes come from DJ Bongohead to make sure you get the full skinny on these cuts from Pacho Galán Y Su Orquesta, Orquesta José Ramón Herrera, Super Combo Los Platinos, Cuarteto Del Mónaco plus two from Andrés Landero Y Su Conjunto.
(Out 29 March (digital)/ Vinyl ships 5 May on Rocafort Records)
