Soul Jazz Records presents Latin Fire! Tropical Dance Music from Discos Fuentes, Colombia 1956-83, a stunning compilation that showcases the pioneering sound of Discos Fuentes, the legendary Colombian label that brought Afro-Colombian tropical dance music from the north coast of Colombia to worldwide audiences. This collection spans nearly three decades of infectious rhythms, featuring cumbia, salsa, and Afro-funk that defined Colombia's vibrant musical landscape.
What makes this release truly special is how it captures the unique fusion that emerged when Colombian music absorbed influences from New York barrio-style hard Latin and salsa, as well as Caribbean styles like soca and zouk. The result is a truly distinctive tropical dance music sound featuring artists like Fruko y Sus Tesos, Afrosound, and Los Corraleros de Majagual, making this an essential collection for anyone seeking the authentic roots of Latin dance music and the innovative spirit of Colombian recording culture.
