Various - El Porro Sabanero

Review by Christian Hartung

El Porro Sabanero is an album that celebrates the rich musical heritage of the Sabana region of Colombia. Featuring a variety of artists, including traditional groups and contemporary musicians, this album is a vibrant and diverse collection of porros (a type of Colombian folk music).

The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "La Gota Fria," performed by Grupo Sabor a Colombia. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is filled with lively rhythms, catchy melodies, and intricate instrumentation.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "El Gallo Tuerto," performed by Los Corraleros de Majagual. The song features a driving beat and a playful call-and-response between the lead vocalist and the backing singers. Another highlight is "El Pescador," performed by Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto. The song is a beautiful and haunting tribute to the fishermen of the Sabana region.
