Combo Los Yogas was a short-lived early Colombian salsa band from Medellín directed and arranged by Aníbal José Angel Echeverri, the famous antioqueño keyboardist known as Aníbal Angel or simply Anán.
Employing Barranquilla native Johnny Moré as his lead vocalist and a full combo with trumpet, trombone, congas and timbales, Los Yogas recorded a fantastic collection of cover tunes in the guaguancó, son, guajira, descarga, and cha-cha-chá rhythms.
The sound is very raw and hard, something that makes this obscure 1968 Discos Fuentes record a sought-after collector’s item.
Thanks to the inherent quality and execution of its repertoire, “Cañabrava” provides a wonderful snapshot of the influences and early development of the genre of salsa in 1960s Colombia.
