Artist: Trovadores de Baru con el Trio Nacional
Author: Crescencio Salcedo/Antonio Fuentes
Label: Discos Fuentes
Year: 1949
On the first record label in Colombia. Crescencio was a flute player from Medellin who couldn't read or write, making it easy for label boss Fuentes to take the credits. Baru was the black district of Cartagena, the city where Fuentes started his record business in '34.
