Podcast: Diggin at the record swap

For this podcast we decided to try something we have never done before — set out to do a show without any records from our collection. Instead we went to a local record swap meet with a set budget of $50 each to create our playlist for the day.

After a full afternoon of digging through many boxes of records from all over the world we headed straight back to La Sala to see if we spent our money wisely. We think we did pretty well, but have a listen and let us know what you think.

Cumbia de Soledad

In the next few days, I am probably going to bombard you with music from the Carnaval de Barranquilla, which some Colombians claim is the second largest in the world, “despues de Rio de Janeiro, claro”. (Mind you, some Colombians also claim to have the second most beautiful national anthem, “despues de la Marsellesa, claro”.)

Roots first. Here is La Cumbia Soledeña a *classic* cumbia groups from Soledad, now a suburb of Barranquilla. How classic? This group started in 1877 and their sound, which (as you can hear) they keep as “pure” and “authentic” as possible, has been mostly passed down the family line.

I *love* their sound, but I’m not sure how I feel about the obsession with staying purebred – especially in such a hybrid music.

La Cumbia Moderna de Soledad, on the other hand, is not ashamed of their taste for the exotic. Their Fela Kuti cover Shacalao is pretty hot, but this is my favorite: the second best cover of Rod Stewart’s banger “Do you think I’m sexy”.
