Los Belton’s - Cumbia Pop (1970)
"I’ve a great fondness for Peruvian cumbia, especially when they don’t stay in their lane. Lots of distorted guitars and wildness. Los Belton’s were a group of brothers from Ayacucho.”
Guess I’m Dumb
It’s all Chuck’s fault (Prophet tha knows . . . he turned us all onto Cumbia!)
So obviously I blame the Sealymonster!For introduing us to Chuck all those years ago now this one’s for him for stopping by to comment! (on The Daily Prophet!)

Elliot Smith was born as Steven Smith in Omaha, Nebraska on this day in 1969.
He'll fake it through the day with some help from Johnnie Walker Red.
Susan Tedeschi: I played acoustic growing up, starting at 14 or 15. My dad gave me one of his old Martins when I was about 15 for Christmas one year and I cried because I was so excited. I wrote a bunch of songs on that, and that’s when I first started songwriting. I didn’t play electric guitar until I was about 22 or 23. I had graduated college at 20, so I was out of college for a couple of years before I ever picked up a guitar, other than acoustic. I was playing acoustic at shows but it was more folky and songwriter-y kind of stuff.Then I fell in love with blues. I had some friends who used to play at Johnny D’s in Somerville, Massachusetts, every Sunday for the blues jam. They needed singers so they asked me to come down, and then I realized, “Well, shoot, this would be a great place to try out playing the guitar.” There weren’t a lot of people there and it was pretty chill, so that’s what I did. I would go down and sing a few tunes, then I’d start playing rhythm. I never really soloed for the first couple of years on electric. I just wanted to learn to learn how to play rhythm and play along with stuff so I could try to accompany myself while singing.I played along with a lot of Freddie King and Johnny Guitar Watson and Otis Rush and Magic Sam – and I fell in love with blues. I wore out Big Mama Thornton’s Hound Dog record and Koko Taylor and all sorts of stuff. I fell in love with it and I realized, “This is what I want to do. I want to be Freddie King and Johnny Guitar Watson!” It’s funny because I did a tour with Etta James and she asked me, “Who are your influences? Who do you want to be?” I said, “I want to be Johnny Guitar Watson.” And she said, “Ah! That’s who I want to be!”

Now I have said before I am less han convinced by Susan’s husband Mnsr Trucks but I do seriously prefer Susan’s playing, she seems just more authentic and Derek’s slide I am critical of.
Hey ho! Nice to feature something that doesn’t hide her light under a bushel of other stuff for once
Gary Lucas reccommended this . . . . . .

When inexplicable tragedy happens — like when Irish singer-songwriter, folk-rock band leader, actor, and community leader Glen Hansard passes away after a motorcycle accident ouside Dublin — it’s like I revert to being a teenager sitting on my childhood bed, reading liner notes in tiny type in CD booklets, for the sake of the song, as a wise man once said. It’s a reminder of fandom, of believing in people because of believing in their songs.
