El Bailador de la Esquina collects rare Colombian salsa gems from Disco Fuentes

Vampi Soul's latest dig through the Disco Fuentes vault yields 10 mega rare Colombian salsa dura swingers from the 70s & 80s! 

Here's the scoop...

This curated collection comprises hard-to-find salsa 45s from the Discos Fuentes vaults—deep cuts that have long flown under the radar but still light up dancefloors today.

Among the featured artists are: Super Combo “Los Famosos”, Sexteto Manaure, La Protesta de Colombia… This compilation also includes a range of studio experiments and covers—where artists like Piper Pimienta, Galileo y Su Banda, and La Integración reimagined beloved hits, from boleros to vallenatos, through a distinctly Colombian salsa lens.
