Various Artists - CUMBIA CUMBIA CUMBIA, VOL. IV (2025) [Hi-Res]

The fourth volume of the renowned anthology series by Vampisoul delves into the musical archives of the Discos Tropical label, based in Barranquilla. The label's founder, Luis Emilio Fortou Pereira, played a key role in shaping the region's dance culture. The compilation illustrates a significant historical shift in the Cumbia genre: the decline of the big band era, which dominated until the late 1950s, and the emergence in the 1960s of smaller ensembles combining accordion with brass instruments. The release features rare recordings and classic tracks originally released between 1960 and 1984, which were previously difficult to find on vinyl.
