Combo Los Yogas
Canabrava (black)
2021 reprint. Combo Los Yogas was a short-lived early Colombian salsa band from Medellin directed and arranged by Anibal Jose angel Echeverri, the famous antioqueno keyboardist known as Anbal Angel or simply Anan. Employing Barranquilla native Johnny More as his lead vocalist and a full combo with trumpet, trombone, congas and timbales, Los Yogas recorded a fantastic collection of cover tunes in the guaguanco, son, guajira, descarga, and cha-cha-cha rhythms. The sound is very raw and hard, something that makes this obscure 1968 Discos Fuentes record a sought-after collectors item. Thanks to the inherent quality and execution of its repertoire, "Canabrava" provides a wonderful snapshot of the influences and early development of the genre of salsa in 1960s Colombia. Presented in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180g vinyl.
