"This CD is a compilation of over thirty years of the best Colombian (the only and true cumbias) traditional cumbias. If you're looking for original work, this is the CD to get. I'm using the "Cumbia Sampuesina" in a choreography I've put together."

"This cumbia seems not only the dance music but also something like Colombian Blues. From sentimetal tone of voice, if you carefully listen to the lyrics, you can glimpse the life of rural working class Colombian. That's the essence of the cumbia. And that's what I like about this CD."

"This cd is a gem. I purchased it many years ago well aware that the cd was full of old original cumbia songs but some of the greatest in my opinion and definitely well be cheerished by true fans of this unique genre. It has some of Colombia's finest groups who have perfected this rhythm and by listening to it really does take you to point in time that only most of us can imagine but I am sure holds beautiful memories for those who grew up in Colombia when these songs were popular. The only downfall of this cd is it's too short but it is a nice a compilation for those who are fans of authentic cumbia. You will certainly recognize classic songs such as: Tabaco y Ron, Amaneciendo, Se me perdio la cadenita, El pescador de Baru among others. This is a gem of a cd."
