CUMBIA CARNAVALESCA and COCALECA

Listen to CUMBIA CARNAVALESCA by Lucho.
Listen to COCALECA by Lucho.

A short detour to Panama for you. I shared one of Lucho's Christmas songs over the holidays, and talked a little about how my grandfather had insisted on playing him that record every Christmas Eve. He wasn't a particularly sentimental guy, so this act of blatant nostalgia really made an impression. So now part of his legacy is my thing for this Panamanian organ music. For those of you without that backstory, this stuff might not be to your taste, but give it a shot. It is pretty fun if viewed through the right lens.
