Vampi Soul

[Late]

This is a fantastic label out of Spain. I've picked up a few titles here and there over the years, but have never really explored the depth of their catalog. Any particular favorites from this label that you recommend?

Love this compilation of experimental Uruguayan pop from the 80s: https://vampisoul.bandcamp.com/album/am-rica-invertida

Wow. Thanks for this link. They've got a ton of Cumbia which is the bomb. Listening to this comp now: https://vampisoul.bandcamp.com/album/the-afrosound-of-colombia-vol-1

I noticed they had some of these artists' albums separately on their bandcamp listing as well. The only thing I know is to do a random click here and there. Probably going to dig what's there more times than not. 

Second track from this comp (Cumbia De Luna): https://vampisoul.bandcamp.com/album/the-afrosound-of-colombia-vol-2

The lope of this rhythm is infectious.

I listened to this just yesterday. Fantastic comp.

While it's a Volume Four, this one is very much worth checking out: Gózalo! Bugalú Tropical, Vol. 4

 

I actually like it better than some of the previous volumes.

I have a fabulous comp from them of Peruvian cumbia from the second half of the 60s and beginnings of the 70s. Its sounds like a crazy marriage of surf music and cumbia. There is lots of psychedelic echoladen Strat on there. Oh, and its called Cumbia Beat Vol.1

Yes, exactly. And I see it's also on Bandcamp.

Bubble gum. And fun.

These are just great.

I think both of these are no longer available.

This is not particularly exotic, just straight-ahead jazz, but I think it's very good.
