In the big wide world of Latin American music it’s not uncommon for big time artists who have hit the heights of their genre to attempt a hybrid song where they blend their style of music with another in order to create something brand new and branch out a bit. Usually these attempts are the songs that get skipped over as they are too forced and just end up confusing the dance floor, but here we have an exciting exception by El Mayimbe, aka Fernandito Villalona. Cumbia Merenguera is actually miles ahead of everything else on this record and has become one my favorites of the original El Mayimbe. Enjoy.
