Paul Cauthen – Country Coming Down (Velvet Rose Records)It’s hard to say what’s more abundant in Paul Cauthen’s third album—F-bombs or country music cliches. This month, instead of my usual obscurities, I want to promote the “Oligarch of Rhythm” Lucho Bermudez, easily the most popular Columbian musician of the twentieth century. From Columbia, his music spread to Argentina and then to the rest of Latin America where cumbia de Columbia was second only to the Cuban son and bolero in influence. This makes it all feel very familiar for those of us who already love jazz of the 30s and 40s. Digital or vinyl, you are going to want to get up and dance to this essential music.
