Accordion Inspired Techno

I don't know about you guys, but these songs are brilliant. The use of accordian samples in each one of these techno jams are particularly creative. Believe it or not, however,they were actually created outside of Colombia. 'Bora Bora' is Dominican, 'Heater' is French, and 'Bucovina' is Romanian of all places. Enjoy!

Those are awesome.. I wish that there were more ethno-global electronica out there that mixed traditional sounds with cool beats..... these being dance techno lean a bit monotonous, but the blend is definitely there - some very great sections.

I especially like the Heater one

Heater is based on the colombian cumbia La Cumbia Cienaguera.

Keep 'em coming, love it. The third was cute, as a video, less for the music. Thanks.

Actually heater is based around a very very Colombian piece of music - listen and you'll probably recognize it it is called La Cumbia Cienaguera

Rogue: the Bucovina video is actualy a 'montaje', a common practice when a song has no official video, it is mashed up with a random video. In this case, it's the video from Yves LaRock - Rise Up. Bora Bora is also a montaje. Heater is actually the only official video.

Elquees: In my trips to Cali they would always play this song on the radio and in the clubs and no name was ever mentioned, so it took me MONTHS to find them. I now share my joy with you. :)

Tanned and adrimm: Thanks for the 'D', I knew my fellow compatriots wouldn't let me down! World beats in modern techno is very trendy, there's a Brazilian one out there too I'll have to find...

Azuno: It's just so friggin easy to dance to and catchy, there's no reason to stop liking it when you're 91! However, you're better off downloading these or going to amazon rather that getting them in Medallo.

I'm glad you all enjoyed these!!! I've got more goodies coming later so keep your eyes peeled!

Here is 75 Brazil Street, another song that is VERY popular in the Colombian Nightlife scene. If you listen closely, this song samples an old house classic, Bucketheads' - The Bomb.
