LUCHO BERMUDEZ Y SU ORQUESTA Vinilo y CD

Review: A rarity on our shelves, 'The Coastal Invasion' is a giant tour through the work and career of Lucho Bermudez, who together with his own personal orchestra, recorded some of the most eminent Colombian cumba music of his day. Bermudez was a formidable composer who led the state's many big bands so innovatively that he came to be known as the musician who modernised Colombia's most important folk music style, bringing it into a new age through his various collaborations with his wife, Matilde Diaz.
