It was precisely during this early stage of his discography that he recorded the irresistible \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Mambo Loco,’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e a much rawer, more hypnotic, and more percussive version than the one he would release years later on Discos Fuentes. Velásquez’s accordion playfully dances over a powerful, unmistakably Afro-influenced rhythmic background, creating a true dancefloor anthem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe complete this single with the version that Peruvian group \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLos Continentales\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, fronted by superb guitarist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePancho Acosta\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, recorded of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Tiro al blanco,’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e one of the most iconic songs by Colombian group \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfrosound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. In fact, this represents a musical round trip between Colombia and Peru, since Afrosound emerged as a “studio” project in response to the strong wave of Peruvian psychedelic cumbia that was beginning to gain popularity in Colombia in the late 1970s. A group of composers and musicians associated with Discos Fuentes were commissioned to record cumbias in this style under the name Afrosound. It was in this context that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Tiro al blanco’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was released, and its success prompted several Peruvian artists (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLos Mirlos\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLos Sanders\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLos Tigres\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e…) to record their own versions of the song. Master guitarist Pancho Acosta and Los Continentales also succumbed to the temptation of recording this regional hit, and their version of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Tiro al blanco’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e appeared on an extremely rare single that we are now reissuing for the first time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VAMPISOUL","offers":[{"title":"7 Inch Vinyl","offer_id":59766099804505,"sku":"SDZ-54075","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/SHE_20261006_1459_140102_781_p_Outlook-agdcbu34_3_001.jpg?v=1791390168","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/anibal-velasquez-y-su-conjunto-mambo-loco","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
