Raúl Llerena Vásquez ' known to the world as Ranil ' a singer, bandleader, record-label entrepreneur and larger-than-life personality who swirled the teeming buzz of the jungle, the unstoppable rhythms of Colombian dance music, and the psychedelic electricity of guitar-driven rock and roll into a knock-out, party-starting concoction. Ranil's extraordinary output has remained one of the best kept secrets among collectors of cumbia and psychedelic Latin sounds. Assembled by Analog Africa founder Samy Ben Redjeb from original LPs sourced from Ranil himself, this fully-licenced compilation presents 14 tracks ' many of which have never seen wide release outside the Amazonian region ' by a singular artist at the very height of his considerable powers. Prepare yourself for a guitar groove you won't soon forget. Limited edition LP pressed on 180g High Quality Virgin Vinyl. Download for LP from Bandcamp also includes unlimited streaming of *Ranil - y su conjunto tropical via the free Bandcamp app along with high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
