Search - Juaneco Y Su Combo :: The Birth of Jungle Cumbia

Available Dec. 10th, 2013. Dating back to 1970 and 1972, these are the forgotten first recordings of legendary jungle cumbia pioneers Juaneco y su Combo. This is the band with the jungle factor turned up to 11-before they were signed by a big label and before they were produced to appeal to an audience outside the Amazon region. The first instance of a jungle band recording their own compositions, this album captures a unique moment in Latin music history. It also flat out rocks. It comes with a lavishly designed, informative 28 page booklet that goes into depth about the group, the region and the songs.
