Colombian multi-instrumentalist & world champion of accordian, Lisandro Meza has been a key figure of Colombian popular music since 1961, first as a member of supergroup Los Corraleros de Majagual, and then in Banda Los Hijos de la Niña Luz -- the late-'70s band composed of his children & his wife. They played their own style of brass band street music that has its roots in the carnival tradition of Colombia. 'Dejala Corre' from 1980 is a huge favorite along the Caribbean coast of Colombia and in the interior, too. The flip side features an edit of the final segment of a long medley from a 1980 Los Hijos LP on legendary Colombian label Discos Fuentes. The two pieces featured are 'El Sapo' which runs into a unique big band version of Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy (Crees Que Soy Sexy)." This is a tropical dancefloor double-sided bomb and strictly limited to 1000 copies. The record comes in a unique bespoke black printed sleeve on textured high quality manilla card.
