For this compilation Soundway Records returned to Colombia to focus on the works of José Maria 'Curro' Fuentes, a member of the Fuentes family, founders of Colombia's largest record label, Discos Fuentes, active in Colombia in the nineteen sixties and seventies, the golden era of orchestras with names like El Super Combo Curro or La Sonora Curro. 'Cartagena! Curro Fuentes & The Big Band Cumbia And Descarga Sound Of Colombia, 1962 - 72' might be dedicated to Colombian genres like cumbia, mapalé and porro, José also had a weak spot for salsa. If we tell you the twenty gems on this album appear on record for the first time outside of Colombia, you know Soundway Records prepared another collector's item!
