YEISON LANDERO - Cumbia Sin Fronteras
Cumbia Sabanera is one of many foundational music traditions that have been born in the tucked away Montes de Maria region of Colombia’s Caribbean enclave. At the front of this particular sabanera style sits el acordeón, a magical squeezebox of seductive melodies that, combined with the quintessential elements of the cumbia rhythm section, has begat a worldwide phenomenon several times over. Each generation seems to bring forth another cumbia craze that echoes from the savanna out into the Caribbean Sea, oscillating beyond into the international landscape. One of the true maestros, at the very heart of this original movement, is the bonafide and widely recognized El Rey de la Cumbia, Andrés Landero. Put simply, Andrés Landero is a legendary practitioner of the esteemed instrument, with a school of followers and admirers who played and studied with him from the 1950s until his passing in 2000. His performances, discography and compositions are beyond reproach, and accordionists the world over have taken up this same enchanting Hohner instrument to carry on Landero’s craft through his well-formed cumbia sub-culture. As the wider cumbia movement has shapeshifted throughout its time in different countries, across decades with the aid of modern innovations, there remains a devoted tradition to the roots of the accordion-based sound and cumbia sabanera in its most sincere and organic form. Even at the height of international popularity, with talent emerging from all corners of the world’s musical meridians, there is no heir more appropriate to carry on the legacy of Andrés Landero than his very own grandson. These two selections encapsulate the movement of the current cumbia nexus, from an ode to the Colombian countryside traditions in “Santa Lucia” to the international ascent of cumbia’s modern path in “Cumbia Sin Fronteras” (Cumbia Without Borders). Sonically, these two tracks reach for a harmonious balance between raw, traditional, and truly unique, and their finished form on the preferred 7-inch format means they’re destined to reach the hands of selectors and sonideros worldwide, just as the elder Landero’s records did across decades and generations. El heredero de la cumbia (the heir to cumbia) is in a good place, Landero vive!
