Of course a Colombian Cumbia collection would not be the same without a typical album cover. This one is actually tame by comparison with the ever popular 14 Cañonazos Bailables series.

Great find - many thanks!

BTW, there is actually a cumbia called "Esperma y ron"? I hope it's not a cocktail!

You can actually go to the factory in Medellin and buy it direct and cheaper. Be sure to have the catalogue number and politely ask the security guard and he will get someone to pick your order. You can find the catalogue number at http://www.discosfuentes.com. call them at 3558218 to get their exact address but if going North on Guayabal, make a right on Calle 14 (15?) and it is a green building on the next intersection. It is in between Av. Guayabal and La Autopista just off calle 14. You can make a right onto calle 14 from the autopista going south as well.

You can also go to their site http://www.discosfuentes.com and buy each individual song for like 95-99 cents, that way you don't have to buy an entire double CD if you only like a few songs. Or download it for free in one of them "free" music exchange sites. :oD

-----------------
I hope you're not thinking it means "Sperm and rum"... because it's actually "Candle wax and rum" since originally people danced cumbia on the beach while holding candles and drinking rum. ;o)

I wouldn't give Apple a dollar as long as any other options exist. Amazon sells you high quality MP3 files with no DRM hassles. iTunes is now finally selling some non-DRM music, but they can keep it.

I learned the way iTunes operates the hard way. Bought a whole bunch of single songs to download into my iPod and then went to burn a CD, turned out they weren't MP3s but MP4s just so that they would get stuck either in my iTunes page or my iPod. That was the last day I used it.

Mononoke,

Why don't use a program like this: http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html ?

Darloup, Most iTunes songs have DRM(Digital Rights Management) restrictions. Consequently, you can't easily convert them with legitimate software. Lately, they have started selling non-DRM music, but they can still keep their BS.

CG,

"Darloup, Most iTunes songs have DRM(Digital Rights Management) restrictions."

Arrrgh, these suck! I was glad to learn that most majors (Sony, Universal Music, etc) are now back-pedalling and have stopped including DRM in their songs. In France, it was actually illegal as the law allows to make one copy (of a song (MP3), an audio CD, a DVD, etc.) for one's PERSONAL use. In other words, you buy an original CD and you're allowed to make a copy to listen in your car. The only restriction is that, naturally, this copy is for you - and not for your friends ;-)

Personally, I download video clips from Youtube using TubeMaster and I then extract the mp3 audio track using the above-mentioned program. I reckon that if those clips are open available on Youtube, I also have the right to view/listen to them on an other medium beside my PC (my mp3 player).

I was just listening to a song that is sorely missing from this compilation.

"Se Me Perdió la Cadenita" by Sonora Dinamita, one of the greatest Colombian groups ever.
