(Click the above image to see a hi-res jpeg of the article or just go <a href="http://www.xlr8r.com/magazine/112">here</a> to download the entire issue as a pdf file.) Regular readers of this blog are not going to find a whole lot of new information, but maybe it will help spread the cumbia gospel on the other side of the equator.<br /><br />In other cumbia-related news, the Refusenik mix I posted a couple days ago was also <a href="http://www.discobelle.net/2007/11/01/from-taiwan-to-argentina/">written up</a> on the influential (and usually quite excellent) Discobelle blog.<br /><br />Maybe I should start advising people to jump on the cumbia bandwagon now, before the inevitable backlash begins in about six months.Disco Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11075681653589200997noreply@blogger.com3
