Description

It's been a few years, but Vampisoul is back with the next installment of Colombian tropical bangers from the deep vaults of Discos Fuentes. The term Afrosound denotes an always exciting, sometimes surprising soundtrack chronicling the embrace, development, dissemination, and commercialization of the country's rich Afro-Coastal musical heritage over more than four decades. It is the proud sound of African-rooted culture translated, transformed, and transmitted through the commercial enterprise of Discos Fuentes, and this third collection offers an even more diverse and chronologically wide-ranging array of tracks than the previous two volumes, with an even stronger focus on the music's folkloric origins. The unifying factor this time is the same: African roots or influences and the period of experimentation, self-expression, upheaval, rebellion, and rebirth in the industry, nurtured by the label and its stable of musicians, song-writers, producers, and engineers.

Although this volume does not list Fruko Y Sus Tesos in the track-by-track credits, the presence of Julio Ernesto Estrada Rincón can be felt throughout, with the first half setting the stage for his artistic birth, schooling and eventual emergence at the label, and the second half featuring bands that he was an integral part of or had a hand in creating, producing, and composing for. And with that said, Vampisoul dedicate this collection to Fruko: long may he reign as "The King of Afrosound". This incredible stream of black gold adorned and enriched the public airways of Cali, Buenaventura, Cartagena, Baranquilla, to become a symbol of pride and part of Colombia's collective identity. Afrosound Vol. 3 comprises an outstanding selection of 26 hard-to find-tracks, many reissued for the first time, covering a wide array of Afro-rooted genres, with a stronger focus on the music's folkloric origins than in previous volumes, featuring recordings by the likes of Michi Sarmiento, Wganda Kenya, The Latin Brothers, Los Corraleros De Majagual, Peregoyo... Includes an extended booklet with notes by compiler Pablo Yglesias aka DJ Bongohead. Also features Pepe Velásquez y Su Arpa Paraguaya, Pedro Salcedo Y Su Orquesta, Pedro Laza Y Sus Pelayeros, Los Alegres Diablos, Juan Piña Y Sus Muchachos, Pello Torres Y Sus Diablos Del Ritmo, Los Satélites, Julio Erazo Y Su Conjunto, Ariza y Su Combo, Pedro Jairo Garcés Y Su Guitarra Estereofonica, Los Claves, Los Super Star De Colombia, Peregoyo Y Su Combo Vacaná, La Carnaval Swing, El Sexteto Miramar, Toño Y Su Combo, Juancho Vargas Al Órgano, El Super Combo Los Diamantes, César Pompeyo Y Su Sonora, La Integración, Dimensión Caribe De Pedro Conde, Michi Y Sus Bravos, and Afrosound.
