La Gustadera
Ăngel VĂĄsquez brought Antillean shades into the accordion tradition of a region overflowing with juglares, as the Colombian northern coast has always been. VĂĄsquez built a monumental songbook where pachanga, charanga, son, cumbia, and even the Puerto Rican countryside, Boricua sound, played leading roles. His few recordings carried a remarkable stylistic range, making it difficult to put him into any single categoryâa quality that led to a style he himself called vasquesĂłn. In the early seventies, he released through Discos Fuentes a single that would become one of the anthems of the Barranquilla Carnival: âPica pica en carnavalâ, a tropical, electrifying gem with a guarachero flow so unmistakable that itâs still a staple in verbenas, neighborhood dances, and picĂł parties today.
La Gustadera comprises a muscular, rhythm-packed ride moving from pachanga to paseaito, passing through charanga, porro, son and, of course, vasquesĂłnâa full-on celebration where the accordion leads the dance. Here, direct lines are drawn between Colombian coastal folklore and Afro-Antillean sound. âSĂĄbalo calienteâ, âMaruchaâ, âLa gustaderaâ, âFiestas cordobesasâ, âLos Sampayosâ, âChicha sabrosaâ, âChambacĂșâ, âPantalĂłn calienteâ, âEl mosquitoâ, âEl dĂa que te viâ, âRecuerdo al vientoâ, âSe atropella el castellanoââpure joy painted with the everyday imagery of coastal life.First time reissue of this mega rare Ăngel VĂĄsquez album.
