For the first time in more than thirty years, Peregoyo Y Su Combo Vacaná have returned to the international arena with a new recording and with the same musical force that made them famous. The new record is a testament to the musical prowess of this giant of Colombian rhythms with a seminal influence on the history of its music. Currulao is a purely African rhythm; it is employed equally in singing about the misfortunes of love, feasts of the saints, or for lamenting the loss of a child. After more than five centuries of neglect the Pacific coast of Colombia, a region that is one of the country"s best kept secrets, is gradually beginning to shed its isolation and obscurity.
