Los Corraleros de Majagual - El Caiman Borracho La Piragua

Review by greg hill

Los Corraleros de Majagual's album, El Caiman Borracho La Piragua, is a vibrant and energetic collection of traditional Colombian cumbia music. The band's signature sound, which combines accordion, percussion, and brass instruments, is evident throughout the album, creating a lively and upbeat atmosphere.

The album's title track, "El Caiman Borracho," is a standout with its catchy melody and playful lyrics. The song tells the story of a drunken alligator causing chaos in a small town, and the band's lively performance perfectly captures the humor and mischief of the tale.

Other highlights include "La Piragua," a classic cumbia that showcases the band's skillful musicianship, and "La Gota Fria," a popular Colombian folk song that Los Corraleros de Majagual infuse with their own unique style.
