The visionary guru devotes his life to bringing out of the shadows the most hypnotic sounds of his country. While bolero and vallenato were well placed in the charts, it was the African sounds of traditional cumbia that set the neighbourhood parties alight. Marginal music groups began to fuse Colombian and African rhythms with a strong rhythmic base of bass and percussion, taking precedence over the psychedelic rock guitar melody accompanied by vocals and synthesizer. While the label made money by releasing popular hits by legends such as Alejandro Dur\u00e1n and An\u00edbal Vel\u00e1squez, this money was then reinvested in a unique series of experimental releases such as La Banda Africana, King Somaliland, Conjunto Barbacoa and Abelardo Carbono, one of the godfathers of the champeta criolla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tracks from <em>La Locura de Machuca<\/em>, collected in the darkest and strangest corners of the catalog of Discos Machuca, have something unique and timeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find some of <em>La Locura de Machuca 1975 &#8211; 1980<\/em> in our playlist Songs of the Week on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Spotify (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/5Au5WzqKtuYMaqK1zT88Qv?si=TC_Hq7VjTu2LPyT-ZTdFQw\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Deezer (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.deezer.com\/en\/playlist\/1878285902\" target=\"_blank\">Deezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>La Locura de Machuca 1975 &#8211; 1980<\/em> will be released on October 16th on a vinyl\/record LP and in digital format via <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Analog Africa (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/analogafrica.bandcamp.com\/album\/la-locura-de-machuca-1975-1980\" target=\"_blank\">Analog Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tracklisting<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.Eberebijara &#8211; Samba Negra &nbsp; 03:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.Monkey\u00b4s Dance &#8211; King Somalie &nbsp; 02:34&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.Tamba &#8211; El Grupo Folcl\u00f3rico &nbsp; 03:18&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.El Campanero &#8211; Los Viajeros Siderales &nbsp; 02:58&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5.Ayu &#8211; Rio Latino &nbsp; 03:09&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6.La Mazamorra Del Diablo &#8211; An\u00edbal Vel\u00e1squez 03:13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7.Mosquita Muerta &#8211; La Francachela&nbsp; 03:13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8.
