Munster Records's video: La Cumbia Moderna de Soledad - La Clavada Vampisoul 2019

More info: http://munster-records.com/en/label/vampisoul/product/la-clavada Pedro “Ramayá” Beltrán, born in Patico, a small town in Colombia’s Bolívar province, is a maestro of Colombian folkloric music known as the King of the ‘caña de millo’ flute, although he is also proficient in various percussion instruments as well as the reed instrument known as ‘gaita’. He founded La Cumbia Moderna de Soledad in the early 1970s. With this group he set out to “modernize” the folkloric music of his people, adding electric bass and a brass section to fresh arrangements of cumbias, porros, fandangos, puyas and other costeño genres. “La Clavada” (1979) was La Cumbia Moderna de Soledad’s sixth record and first for Codiscos’ Costeño imprint. The LP has many excellent examples of Beltrán’s inventive, catchy and downright playful mix of the ancient and the modern, making for a collection of tunes brimming with tradition and yet fearlessly bristling with innovation, not the least of which is ‘Crees que soy sexy’, with its crazy yet very catchy lyrics and haunting gaita refrain mimicking the main melody of Rod Stewart’s international disco smash ‘Da Ya Think I’m Sexy’. The album’s title song was a massive hit in Colombia and has become a standard of the genre. Faithfully restored to its original glorious sound, this album is poised to be rediscovered as an innovative yet rootsy gem that deserves a second life within today’s vinyl revival and continued interest in Colombia’s musical past.
