Peregoyo y Su Combo Vacaná

One of the first bands to combine the folk rhythms of Colombia's Buenaventura region and the cumbia of Cuba, Peregoyo Y Su Combo Vacana were known for their unique electric guitar-dominated sound. Reviewing a reissue of their early-70s album, Tropicalismo, RootsWorld claimed that Peregoyo Y Su Combo Vacana "never lets up as it hurls groove after incessant groove at you, sax and trumpet blazing from a path cut by fat, no bloated bass licks, pervasive percussion and searing solo and group vocals". ~ Craig Harris
