Aníbal Velásquez - Cumbias Merengues Y Paseos

Review by Madeline Foster

Aníbal Velásquez's album Cumbias Merengues Y Paseos is a perfect representation of his unique style and sound. The album features a mix of traditional Colombian rhythms, including cumbia, merengue, and paseo, all infused with Velásquez's signature accordion playing and vocals.

The album's opening track, "La Cumbia del Amor," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and infectious melody. "El Paseo del Despecho" showcases Velásquez's ability to convey emotion through his music, with heart-wrenching lyrics and a slow, mournful melody.

Throughout the album, Velásquez's accordion playing takes center stage, with impressive solos and intricate melodies that showcase his mastery of the instrument. His vocals are equally impressive, effortlessly switching between smooth crooning and powerful belting.
