{"product_id":"cumbia-de-et-el-extraterrestre","title":"Cumbia De ET El Extraterrestre","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfrosound was born from the desire of Discos Fuentes vice-president José María  Fuentes to come up with a domestic version of the emerging African and Latin rock  sounds coming from outside the country, inspired by groups like Osibisa and Santana. The mission was to emulate the guitar-heavy tropical sounds emanating from Perú and  Ecuador at the time. According to various sources, the 1972 tune ‘La danza de los  mirlos’ (by Peru’s Los Mirlos) emerged as a great success in Colombia and with it a new way of interpreting the country’s most famous musical export, namely cumbia, through  a Peruvian perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFuentes executives convened an expert crew of musicians led  by Julio E. Estrada aka Fruko the following year to create this type of music for the domestic market because they sensed a potential for similar success. Once again Fruko is at the helm in the studio for this recording, simultaneously holding  it down and allowing the musicians to explore their most spaced-out fantasies. This  time Jose A. Villerias is in control at the mixing console, pulling all sorts of tricks with  space sounds, reverb and echo, and everyone sounds as if they are having a lot of fun. Both songs had been previously recorded and included on Afrosound’s 1974 album  “Carruseles” —recently reissued on Vampisoul— but these new versions from 1983  feature an updated sound with an extensive use of space effects and unexpected sonic tricks. Taking advantage of the pull the film was having at the time, the result was  carefully packaged with an E.T. themed artwork, aiming commercial success. year.
