"This latest release from Analog Africa further realises the ceaselessly intriguing label's quest to shine a light on exceptional music rarely before heard in the West: Seventeen tracks of wigged-out dance music originating from Colombians of African descent. As much as the music, this is also the story of Rafael Machuca, the Colombian former tax-lawyer who founded Discos Machuca, the label from whose catalogue these tracks are drawn ... 'Monkey's Dance' by King Somalie, fuelled by a blipping Casio rhythm, sounds, for all the world, like a wonderful Sesame Street children's song, washed and rinsed in pure-grade psyche. Some beautiful and fluid guitar runs weave in around simplistic lyrics which will tie your brain up in knots even as it unwinds your soul. 'Ayu' by Rio Latino is bouncing, bright Afro-beat with shuffling drums, dancing bass, keyboard vamps and beguiling vocals, married to far-out stereo effects and wah-wah guitar ... Every track here is fascinating ... Joyous, enticing and a boon for the soul".

"Discos Machuca was a seminal Afro-cumbia label in late 70s Colombia. Founded by a tax lawyer who reinvented himself as a recording guru, it specialised in the electrified hybrid of bolero, vallenato and trad cumbia that was all the rage in the picos - neighbourhood sound systems - of his native Barranquilla. La Locura de Machuca gives us a sampling of fringe artists like King Somalie and Conjunto Barbacoa and bands Machuca created such as Samba Negra and El Grupo Folclórico, as well as a track by hit-maker Aníbal Velásquez ... Some tracks tilt towards Cuba, others to Jamaica. What links them is a deeply sublimated "africanidad" or African-ness and a serene, solid sense of musical identity. Only dudes cool enough to know what they are can be this easy with so many rhythms, so many modes. A blast from the past it might be, but La Locura de Machuca still feels vital and fresh".
