This review is from: Rough Guide to Colombian Street Party (Audio CD)

This is one of the most comprehensive review of contemporary Colombian music. It is a carefully selected group of songs that will make you explore the geography of the country. I hope this is just the first CD in a series, because there is so much potential in Colombian artists. I love the way classic salsa is mixed with urban electro and traditional tunes ( "el pipiloco" ). Just play this CD and let everybody dance in the party!
