This album, released in 1975 by Colombian composer and organist Jaime Llano Gonzalez, who had been active since the 1950s and led his own orchestra in the 1960s, is a unique gem. It features a full collection of electric old cumbia, with simple rhythms of Latin percussion and smooth bass lines, accompanied by the wistful melodies of a soft-textured electronic organ. The album exudes a "mondo" vibe throughout. There is a sense of affinity with the grooves of renowned Farfisa organ master Mike Dogliotti from Uruguay and Japanese Electone player Shigeo Sekito. Highly recommended.
