Curator Review & Historical Significance

The debut album by Los Ángeles Azules on Disco Dancing (1983). The Vinyl Factory describes it as 'beautifully laidback languorous beat with an accordion hyperventilating over the rhythm' · the birth of cumbia sonidera as a distinct Mexican style. Before they became legends with 'Cómo Te Voy a Olvidar', this is where the Mejía Avante family from Iztapalapa first put their sound on record.
