In the summer of 1952 Anibal Velasquez walked into the studios of Discos Atlantic for his first recording session. What nobody knew at the time was that this 16-year-old accordionist was about to become a living legend of tropical music by creating a crazy blend of Guaracha, Pompo, Guarija, Cumbia and fast african beats - the perfect stuff for the annual carnival of his hometown, Barranquilla. Velasquez' eclectic mix would ultimately make him one of Colombia's most innovative and productive musicians, adored in Venezuela, Mexico and beyond. Check out the cool trailer here: TIP!
