Lisandro Meza y Su Combo Gigante Salsita Mami

Presented in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180g vinyl. First ever reissue of
"Salsita mami" by Lisandro Meza y su Combo Gigante, a highy sought-after Discos
Fuentes "salsa dura" classic LP originally released in 1970. Lisandro Meza is one of
Colombia's most talented all around musical giants. Equally adept at playing musical
instruments as he is at composition and singing, Meza has recorded just about every
type of Colombian genre as well as his own decidedly Colombian versions of salsa,
Afrobeat, funk and disco. After traveling to Venezuela, Panamá, México and the US
as a member of Los Corraleros de Majagual in the mid to late 60s on several tours,
Meza decided to change his own group's sound by creating a big band in order to
play some of the non-Colombian genres he encountered along the way, especially
the Cuban-based dance music being played by the young generation of New York
Latin musicians referred to (in Venezuela and later New York) at the time as "salsa".
