Pueblaaa! Cumbia Poblana at its absolute, quintessential best on this album from Discos Rolas and Grupo Soñador. Huge classic sound heard in just about every kitchen, taxi and soundsystem from Mexico to New York. You're basically getting an entire CD's worth of fire on your long-player here. This is a sonidero secret weapon and then some!
Founded in 1998 by brothers Beto and Richie Tlahuetl in Cholula, Puebla, the group released one self-titled album as Noche Latina before renaming themselves. Grupo Soñador is renowned for pioneering cumbia in Puebla with their keyboard and synth-heavy regional take on cumbia sonidera (sound system cumbia). Grupo Soñador pushes the sound of cumbia sonidera, a style created by DJs in Mexico City who dramatically slowed down records from Colombia, Peru, and elsewhere in South America and dubbed them with personalized saludos (shout-outs). Cumbia from Puebla tends to draw more from cumbia styles from Ecuador and Peru—more keyboards and synths, less accordion—than Colombia, which the major reference for Mexico City.
