Vampi Soul: DJ Bongo Head Presents Big Box Of Afrosound Vinyl 10x7" Boxset

Incredible collection of rare tracks from Colombia's Discos Fuentes label reissued! DJ Bongohead and Vampi Soul have put in the leg work to put together this amazing boxset featuring ten 45's of hard-to-find tracks from the 60's and 70's golden era of the seminal Discos Fuentes imprint. This is a veritable treasure trove of rare latin sounds, with many tracks featured have been reissued for the first time, just for this set! From compiler Pablo Ygelsias aka DJ Bongohead - "The main idea was inspired by Iñigo and Vampisoul's brilliant box of Latin soul and boogaloo 45s from a few years back. This way I could do a special collection of ten 45s, not just a few singles, drawing from both of the already issued volumes of Afrosound and also putting in some selections that Iñigo and I wanted to have on 45. Some would be tunes released on this format for the first time, while others were cuts nearly impossible to find in the original vinyl; some would be specially remastered just for this project, coming from deep within the vaults at Fuentes HQ in Medellín. But the most important criteria was the tracks had to be fun and/or "crazy"? These twenty jams represent the taste not only of myself and Iñigo, but also several trusted advisors and fellow travelers down the road of Colombian music who tipped me off to certain amazing Fuentes tracks and artists over the years." Presented in custom box with extensive liner notes and illustrations from CS Fossett.
