Combo Los Yogas
was a short-lived early Colombian salsa band from Medellín directed and arranged by
Aníbal José Ángel Echeverri
, the famous antioqueño keyboardist known as
Aníbal Ángel
or simply
Anán
. Anán studied arranging and composition at the famed Manhattan School of Music in New York, had many of his own songs become hits over the years, founded the raspa gallega band
Los Teen-Agers
in 1958, and recorded with Discos Fuentes starting in 1965, so he was already an established musician on the scene by the time he founded this oddly named combo. With the influence of New York's burgeoning young Latin scene being absorbed by certain sectors of the youth in South America at the end of the 1960s, Aníbal Ángel must have felt the urge to join the fray, so in 1968 he founded Los Yogas to explore this new phenomenon from the north. 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 here is very raw and hard, something that makes this obscure Discos Fuentes record a sought after collector's item. Taking their cue from the New York scene, Los Yogas cover
Larry Harlow
's arrangement of 'Coco May May' and 'Bajándote' from
Orquesta Harlow
's 1967 album of the same name, as well as a fabulous version of Puerto Rican singer/songwriter
Chivirico Davila
's 'Montuno Pa' Caridad' from
Joe Cotto
's classic early 1960s album
El Magnífico
. Sprinkled throughout are heavy versions of
Cheo Marquetti
's son cubano classics 'Que No Muera El Son', 'Caramelo A Kilo', and 'Apriétala En El Rincón', all tunes heavily influential on Fania co-founder and musical director
Johnny Pacheco
. Venezuelan sax player and New York transplant
Juan 'Johnny' Sedes
's composition 'Aquí Y Allá' . . . became a hit in Colombia for Los Yogas when they covered it, as did the title tune 'Cañabrava' by Mexican composer
Paco Chanona
and the album's sultry closer, the guajira descarga 'Oye Mira' (originally done in 1965 by
Pete Rodríguez Y Su Conjunto La Magnífica
). Despite being a record with no originals,
Cañabrava
holds up magnificently due to the inherent quality and execution of its repertoire, providing a wonderful snapshot of the influences and early development of the genre of salsa in 1960s Colombia." --
