<p class="faq-quote">"Soul Jazz Records delve into the vast vaults of <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=Discos+Fuentes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Discos Fuentes</a>, one of the oldest and largest record companies in Latin America, known as ‘the Motown of Colombia’. Discos Fuentes played a major role in spreading Afro-Latin sounds both to Colombia and around the world and this album explores that legacy. Latin Fire! features legendary Colombian artists such as Fruko, The Latin Brothers, Michi Sarmiento, <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=Afrosound" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Afrosound</a>, Pedro Laza, Wganda Kenya and more and showcases the wide-ranging variety of styles that Discos Fuentes made unique to their sound. The album features music from the golden era of Fuentes; from late 50s and 1960s Cumbia through to the emergence of heavyweight and hardcore salsa and Afro-funk in the 1970s and up to the early 1980s. Discos Fuentes pioneered the sound of ‘Tropical’ music – Afro-Colombian dance music that originated in the north coast of Colombia bringing it to a new worldwide audience. This album shows how Colombian music was also influenced by New York barrio-style hard Latin and salsa and Caribbean styles such as soka and zouk to create a truly unique dance music sound." - <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=Soul%20Jazz%20Records&_=pf&pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Soul%20Jazz%20Records" target="_blank">Soul Jazz Records</a></p> <ul> <li>compilation of rare cumbia, salsa + Latin funk tracks from the Discos Fuentes label</li> <li>black double vinyl pressing</li> <li>housed in gatefold sleeve w/ extensive liner notes</li> <li>digital download included</li> <li>music label: Soul Jazz Records 2025</li> </ul>
