Wow, this is a great record! I was hipped to it on The World radio show and bought it as an adjunct to my recent interest in Fania. This may be the best thing to come from Colombia since Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Discos Fuentes offered the best of the local musical styles by top-flight musicians. Classic and ahead of it's time, it's a challenge to figure the exact moment of each impeccably well recorded track. These guys may be South America's answer to Atlantic Records.
I anxiously await volume 2. Please!

Sometimes I feel like Alexander the Great (no, not that way- in music) looking upon his empire and crying because he has nothing left to conquer: I've ravaged about six different genre kingdoms and it gets tougher to find music with which I'm not familiar. That changed on Saturday when this Disco Fuentes Cd, The Golden Age Of Discos Fuentes - The Powerhouse Of Colombian Music arrived from Amazon. I'll have to admit that I've always considered Cumbia music as having less depth than Caribbean music-like Strauss to Beethoven, if I can be so gross- a fun dance music with humorous lyrics, but somewhat repetitive with few examples of instrumental virtuosity. This disk changed my mind. I've spent a week on it and I still slip it into my Clarion.

People always dance to this CD at parties. Even those who never dance tap their feet. We listen to this CD over and over again in the car. We heard about the CD on NPR, and the thirty seconds of the one song that they played was enough to convince us that we needed the CD, and it did not disappoint.
 the golden age of discos fuentes January 18, 2008
This CD covers a lot of ground in this type of music however,the producers choice of titles is somewhat weak for party music.This CD is full of music that you have to sit down to enjoy.After i bought this CD i noticed that it was compiled on soundway records based in England.After putting this CD on at a party it crashed with a dud! So if you enjoy sitting back and relaxing and enjoying columbian music you might like this CD.
Golden age of music February 11, 2008
I bought this cd without knowing much about it; I just liked the sound clips. After listening to it many times I can now say the purchase was wise. This is excellent music making that makes you want to dance and puts a smile on your face.
If you have overdosed on POP music trends and the Grammys just makes you sick then you owe it to yourself to check out this music. Real talent and real entertainment in a golden age style.
