Lucho Bermúdez, canta Matilde Díaz
Bodas de Oro Musicales
Industria Nacional del Sonido Ltd. INS 0164

1

We know him as Lucho Bermúdez, his full name was Luis Eduardo
Bermúdez Acosta. He was a Colombian musician, composer, arranger,
director and performer. Lucho Bermúdez was perhaps the the main
person responsible for having made cumbia and porro become stan-
dards of Colombian music internationally since the 1940’s. Matilde
Diaz sang in most of his compositions and was Lucho’s second wife.
This album contains some of his biggest successes, I added a couple
of others as bonus tracks, enjoy listening ..

We kennen hem als Lucho Bermúdez, zijn volledige naam was Luis
Eduardo Bermúdez Acosta. Hij was een Colombiaanse muzikant,
componist, arranger, dirigent en performer. Lucho Bermúdez was
waarschijnlijk de man die er verantwoordelijk voor was dat cumbia
en porro verwerden tot de meest representatieve sound uit Colom-
bia in de jaren 40. Matilde Diaz zong op zijn beroemdste composities
en was zijn tweede vrouw. Deze plaat bevat een aantal van zijn groot-
ste successen, ik heb er nog een paar als bonus tracks aan toe gevoegd.

Alfonso Piña y Los Superiores – Bailables con Piña
Metropoli L.D.M. 5069

8

Je kent ongetwijfeld de het gezegde, je moet het ijzer smeden
als het heet is. In het geval van de platenverzamelaar, koop de
plaat als de gelegenheid zich voordoet en je de middelen hebt.
Zo heb ik veel platen gekocht na ze snel te beluisteren en soms
belanden ze al in de kast zonder ooit echt goed gehoord te heb-
ben. Het leuke is dat je jaren later een album ontdekt in je eigen
collectie. Dit is er zo een. Ik kan over Alfonso Piña niet zoveel vin-
den op het web. Één ding weet ik wel, dit is Tropical de Colombia
van hoge kwaliteit. Bailables con Piña swingt van begin tot eind ..

In Dutch we have this saying, you must forge the iron when it is
hot. It means as much as take the opportunity when it occurs.
I don’t know the proper English way to express this feeling. In
case of the record collector, buy the record when it appears.
This is how it happens that you buy an album after a quick listen
and sometimes it ends up on the shelf without really hearing it.
The fun thing about it is that after years you may discover an
elpee in your own collection you don’t know. This is such a
record. I can’t seem to find much about Alfonso Piña but
one thing I do know. This is Tropical de Colombia of decent
quality. Bailables con Piña rocks from beginning to end ..

01 – Porro viejo santa ines

Lo Mejor de La Sonora del Caribe
Delujo 1962 ?

La Sonora del Caribe, front

Not long ago we had an lp by Alfredo Gutierrez on which
Lucho Argain ( Lucho Perez ) was performing. Another group
that Lucho used to sing and compose for is this one. La Sonora
del Caribe was founded in 1951 by Chavistad Cesar Pompeyo.
They had a string of records through the sixties and seventies,
the one we have here is probably from 1962 and contains 12
songs of which the brothers Cesar and Alfredo Pompeyo
said; “We never sounded like this before, the songs on
this lp can set any of our fans on fire on any moment
of the day..” Well, let’s see what happens,
get it & spread it as usual..
