Lo + Nuevo de la Cumbia 2014 – Sonido Santana – Shark DJ (mp3)

Sonido Santana is, along with Pancho and Sonoramico, among the most notorious (the biggest?) sonideros (sound system) of Mexico D.F. This 70 tracks compilation by Shark DJ is a showcase of recent titles (NB: even if the title advertises 2014, many tracks apparently date from 2012) in cumbia, including many covers of traditional cumbia standards. […]

Las Clasicas de Sonido Sonoramico (mp3)

Sonido Sonoramico is one of the most influential Sonideros (sound systems) of Mexico D.F. He also owns an amazing record shop cerca the center of the city. (aww these vinyls!!)

Las Clasicas de Sonido Pancho (mp3)

Sonido Pancho is one of the most important and most influential sonideros (sound systems) from Mexico City. Lately playing apparently mostly salsa, its “baile sonideros” are social events where families and amazingly talented dancers from “club de baile” meet and party. This fantastic and very diverse compilation (131 tracks!) by Heken DJ, filled with oldschool […]

Cumbias Peñoneras – Shark DJ (mp3)

Cumbia Peñonera comes from Peñòn de los Baños, close from the main airport of Mexico, which is apparently, along with Tepito, the second birthplace of cumbia sonidera. Although the two places are relatively close, Cumbia Peñonera sounds quite differently from the rest: More cheerful tracks, sounding more like the costal cumbia from Colombia, with much […]

Porros, Cumbias y Gaitas (mp3)

Porros, Cumbias and Gaitas have in common to be traditional music from Colombia. As Cumbia is present all over the Spanish-speaking part of the Latin American continent, it seems that Porros and Gaitas are much more local. Porro is a festive afro-carribean style of Columbian music, with lots of cowbell (and as everyone knows, as […]

La Musica que Mueve a Mexico con El Talento del Barrio – Campos Tepito – Discos y Sonido (El Original del Sr. Hector Campos) (FLAC)

100% CDR, 100% Cumbia, 100% Tepito. If Hector Campos claims he is the King of records in Tepito (“El Rey de los discos en Tepito”) there might be a reason. As Tepito is one of the birthplaces of Cumbia Sonidera, being king of such a rich (and somewhat chaotic) kingdom must not be an easy […]

100% Sonidero – DJ Shark

100% CDR, 100% Sonidero, 100% mp3. Another compilation by DJ Shark, apparently representative of the sound of Mexican Sonideros.

Bears logos of many famous […]
