Description
With Un Fuego de Sangre Pura (A Fire of Pure Blood), the roots of the cumbia thrive in the music of Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto from Colombia’s violence-torn Caribbean hinterlands. The sounds of long-tubed gaita flutes, unique drums, and maraca stoke the fire of the cumbia and of other regional dances—the fast-paced puya and porro, the cadential gaita corrida, and the bullerengue. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, the senior statesmen of their tradition, are an animated emblem of Colombian nationhood and a resilient fountainhead for some of Latin America’s favorite dance rhythms. 32-page booklet, photos. 52 minutes. 2007 Latin GRAMMY winner!

Note: The CD booklet indicates the female gaita has six holes (page 6 and page 19). This is incorrect; it has five holes.

Con Un Fuego de Sangre Pura, las raíces de la cumbia palpitan en la música de Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto de las remotas planicies azotadas por la violencia de la costa colombiana. Los sonidos de gaita, tambores distintivos y la maraca, avivan el fuego de la cumbia y de otras danzas regionales -la acelerada puya y el porro, la elegante gaita corrida y el bullerengue. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto son los emblemáticos embajadores de su tradición en el espíritu de Colombia y la fuente de origen de los ritmos más famosos de América Latina. Folleto de 32 páginas, fotografías. 52 minutos. ¡Ganador del GRAMMY Latino 2007!

Nota: El Folleto del disco indica que la gaita hembra tiene 6 huecos (página 6 y 19). Esto es incorrecto, solo tiene 5 huecos.
