This amazing song was composed by Lucho Bermudez in 1960, but the Putumayo compilation was released in 2001.

This song can't live on this playlist if "La Candela Viva" from Totó La Momposina isn't in it as well! I'm not leaving this chair until I hear it.

If an artist or composer were to receive royalties from later artists who compose and perform music in a similar style or genre to theirs, Chuck Berry would be a trillionaire.  Latin swing music has been around for at least 80 years, this guy was one of its best artists.  Good tune.

I would guess that the common root to East-European Klezmer & Balkan-beats and Spanish/Hispanic music may be related to gypsies.
Not sure if/where Dixieland fits in.
  My first thought was klezmer, too! It was the woodwinds...

Reminds me of the poster who said a Klezmer tune reminded them of a day in the French Quarter! It's the aural equivalent of "they all look alike to me". Doesn't help that the Sushi bars around here are run by Koreans who also serve Chinese food (although the implications for repairing historical wounds are encouraging).

Dangit! Now I want to hear the Klezmatics. Nope, make that the New Orleans Klezmer All Stars. Those guys rock!

Goodness, martindi. First of all, to tell you the truth, the most embarassing thing to me is that I cannot, for the life of me, remember writing the comment to which you refer. However, since it is highly unlikely that someone broke into my account and wrote something in my diction, maybe I did write it. Secondly, I can't see why asking a simple question should be superficial and embarassing, unless the topic of cross-fertilization of musical styles is offensive.

That's music from the colombian caribbean. Lucho Bermudez, one of our most talented musicians, transformed a traditional caribic rhytmus (the so called "porro") with a big band performance. People who call this music klezmer are simply ignorant and provincial.

Huh. 20 songs? The rotation is more like once every couple of weeks at the most frequent. You just remember the ones you don't like. I remember the ones I do. Then again, I like how I come over here to rate some song and I've already rated it.

You must be kidding. where I'm from, the local radio plays the same crap every day, and even the big music channel uses a 4 hour rotation. 4 hours. The same songs, every 4 hours. Shuffle at noon, and the same songs, in a different order, on a new 4 hour rotation. 4 hours. I'll take two week rotations over 4 hour rotations any day.

I love Cumbia. It is the Columbian equivalent of folk/big band which started in the 40's, I believe, so don't think the guy is ripping off the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Quite the opposite if anything. I have a lot of tunes from Lisandro Mesa, aslo from the same genre and era. Big band sound with accordian lead, great party music. There used to be a Comcast music chanell called "Folklorica" which played lots of this style.
