Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto – Fuego de Sangre Pura

The roots sound, from the hills of Bolívar in northern Colombia. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto play the older, rural form with paired gaita flutes, one male and one female, over the tambor alegre, llamador and maracas. Their album Un Fuego de Sangre Pura won a Latin Grammy for folk music. Start here to hear what every later version on this list was built from: flute melody, hand drums and nothing amplified.
