Los de Azuero is a group of top musicians from the province of Azuero - the cultural heartlands of this music. They play Panamanian cumbias, tamboritos, mejoranas, tunas ... dance and fiesta music which is unique to the country, and largely unknown outside it. A strong African pulse drives the percussion and the call and response vocals of the women. Recorded live in session in Panama City, this is the first CD of Panama's lively traditional music to be released in the UK.
