Descarga loca - Aníbal Velásquez


Aníbal Velásquez - Descarga loca (1965)
A real boogaloo scorcher. Well it's classic Columbian descarga innit. Literally a crazy jam. 

It's easy to see how jazz was waning in public opinion particularly when you hear jazz influenced tracks like this that are so much more immediate, infectious and ultimately more accessible. This is one of the reasons why the electric Miles revolution was necessary.
