Los Melodicos from Venezuela is considered an institution of Venezuelan music, especially tropical rythms like cumbia, guarachas, porro, gaitas and the like. They have recorded more than 100 albums through the 50s until today and most of these are not that exciting for salseros, but they are a popular group in South America.

    Los Melodicos
    However, this album really is a must have. “En Todos Los Ritmos” has everything, but it is especially two tracks that I consider essential:

    • Pow Wow. This is a cover version of Pow Wow from Manny Corchado from his solo album “Aprovecha El Tiempo” on the Decca label, a cult track in itself among boogaloo and latin soul collectors. This version by Los Melodicos has more appeal for salseros and works great for dancing a son montuno/cha-cha/boogaloo mix. Listen for the piano that comes in towards the end. Love it! Great fun track that always brings about a smile on people’s faces.
    • Salsa Rumbero is a heavy guaguanco with a typical 60s sound, but great vocals, awesome swing, great breaks and a surprising entry of wicked trombone madness at the end. One could easily think Jimmy Bosch(!) was making his entry here, but this is a 60s recording from Venezuela…! This is one of the tracks I played at this year’s Scandinavian Salsa Congress and it went down really well with the crowd.

    Que viva Venezuela y sus musicos,
    - Guachi
