Palonegro y Colorado / Ecos Sicodélicos (7")

Description

New single by Romperayo on 7-inch vinyl spinning at 45 rpm, released by the Austrian label discos elgozo. This record is a tribute to the sound of Cumbia Sabanera de Acordeón from Colombia, in dialogue with Mexico’s Cumbia Sonidera. It also pays homage to the melodic line of the first generation of Colombian accordion masters of Cumbia Sabanera such as Joaquín Betín, Emiro Caicedo, and Policarpo Calle. The two tracks are built on a solid rhythmic foundation of bass and percussion, accompanying a melodic interplay between accordion and analog synthesizer.Mixed and produced by Pedro Ojeda Acosta at Romperayo Studios, both songs were recorded live, in quartet format, at Mambo Negro Studios in Bogotá, Colombia, by Daniel Michel, featuring Iván Medellín on accordion, Nicolás Eckardt on electric bass, Juan Manuel Toro on analog synth, and Pedro Ojeda on percussion. This single offers a first taste of Romperayo’s upcoming LP, set for release in early 2026 — once again on discos elgozo.
