VASQUEZ Y SU CONJUNTO, ANGEL	La Gustadera	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 346LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Ángel Vásquez brought Antillean shades into the accordion tradition of a region overflowing with juglares, as the Colombian northern coast has always been. Vásquez built a monumental songbook where pachanga, charanga, son, cumbia, and even the Puerto Rican countryside, Boricua sound, played leading roles. His few recordings carried a remarkable stylistic range, making it difficult to put him into any single category -- a quality that led to a style he himself called vasquesón. In the early seventies, he released through Discos Fuentes a single that would become one of the anthems of the Barranquilla Carnival: "Pica pica en carnaval," a tropical, electrifying gem with a guarachero flow so unmistakable that it's still a staple in verbenas, neighborhood dances, and picó parties today. La gustadera comprises a muscular, rhythm-packed ride moving from pachanga to paseaito, passing through charanga, porro, son and, of course, vasquesón -- a full-on celebration where the accordion leads the dance. Here, direct lines are drawn between Colombian coastal folklore and Afro-Antillean sound -- pure joy painted with the everyday imagery of coastal life. First time reissue of this mega rare Ángel Vásquez album.

LOS ROGER'S	Que Ardiente!	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 345LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Iquitos, one of Peru's most remote cities and the capital of its Amazon region, was the epicenter of the psychedelic cumbia movement. Countless bands emerged from this place, each with a different fate in their musical journeys. Some rose to become international stars and flag bearers of cumbia, while others remained local legends, their fame never traveling far beyond the Amazon jungle. Los Roger's achieved great success in Iquitos and served as the foundation and inspiration for many local bands that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. ¡Qué ardiente! combines the best of the band's limited discography. The recordings come from their first 45 RPM single and their two mini-LPs for the FTA label, as well as their only elusive LP from 1971, ¡Qué ardiente!, ("How Burning!") recorded for the prestigious IEMPSA label. Their discography dives deep into Cuban-influenced sounds, where the guitar shares the spotlight with powerful percussion and -- with tracks like "Descarga Roger's" -- with the vocals as well. Los Roger's came to an abrupt end just one year after the release of their LP, at the peak of their career, due to their disappointments with the music industry.

VA	Music from the Caucasus: The Archive of ORED Recordings, 2013-2023	LP	TAL	TAL 039LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 LP version. The label ORED Recordings was founded in 2013 by Circassian friends and fellow musicians Bulat Khalilov and Timur Kodzoko, in order to start an activity which is dedicated to documenting and preserving the traditional and post-traditional music of the North Caucasus. Khalilov and Kodzoko were excited about this music as it sounded like a force that transcends borders and in which time dissolves and community becomes the only compass. Through hundreds of field recordings from communal gatherings, local festivities, and family meetings, the label has captured a wide range of individual voices and their unique acoustic manifestations. All recordings on this album capture the raw expressiveness of mountainside villages. Music performances being played by people who dedicate their love to music and an additional willingness to share intimate emotions. Whereas most academic ethnomusicologist travel around the world in order to study foreign cultures, Bulat Khalilov and Timur Kodzoko were fascinated by what they just heard in the familiar regions of their then home town Nalchik. In resolut contrast to Russian academic circles they soon developed a DIY punk ethos for their far-reaching work, beginning to formulate their own language in the field of ethnomusicology and to push the traditions forward. However, the label's work goes far beyond mere preservation. The work of the label aims to reflect not only the great music of the Caucasus and its various communities but also to tell the stories behind it. They are stories of struggle, of independence, of working with historical memory in the present times of the 21st century. The compilation Music from the Caucasus provides a first introduction to the comprehensive work of ORED Recordings. For this collaborative release on TAL the recordings are being made accessible for the first ever time, all coming with extensive liner notes and yet unpublished photographs. Featuring Tizhin Gup, Kamran Kərimov və Yusif Əzizov, Tatiana Dordzhieva and Maria Beltsykova, Arkady and Arseniy Kagramyan, Mutat and Ilyas from Ulyap, Balkhar Ensemble, Zamudin Guchev, Tizhin Gup, Şirzad Fətəliyev və Arazbarı Balaban Qrupu, Bagdagyul Ramazanova, Şirzad Fətəliyev və Arazbarı Balaban Qrupu, Bagdagyul Ramazanova, Aşıq Altay, Mirjavid Cəfərov, and Nayil Quoshi.

MAIA, TIM	Tim Maia (1973)	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 342LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Tim Maia's self-titled 1973 album is one of those records that hits you from the very first groove and doesn't let go. Originally released on Polydor Brazil, this was the fourth in a series of Tim's self-titled albums -- and many fans and critics still consider it the crown jewel. Packed with irresistible hooks, lush arrangements, and that unmistakable Tim Maia swagger, the album captures the singer at the peak of his creative powers. If you're new to Tim Maia, here's the quick story: born in Rio de Janeiro, Tim was a larger-than-life icon whose music married American soul and funk with Brazilian samba and pop long before "fusion" was a buzzword. A true musical polymath, he absorbed everything from Curtis Mayfield to Motown and translated it into a sound entirely his own -- gritty, passionate, and full of groove. He didn't just introduce soul to Brazil; he made it Brazilian. On this 1973 release, Tim pushes everything up a notch. The arrangements are bigger, slicker, and surprisingly majestic, without losing the raw spirit that earned him a devoted following. From the moment "Réu Confesso" opens the album, you know you're in for something special -- smooth, funky, and heartfelt in all the right ways. The bittersweet "Gostava Tanto de Você" remains one of his most beloved classics, while "O Balanço" bursts with Brazilian flavor that practically dares you not to move. And with tracks like "Do Your Thing, Behave Yourself" and "Over Again," Tim shows just how naturally the soul idiom fit him, even when he switched to English. This record has everything: deep grooves, soaring strings, magnetic vocals, and that unmistakable sense of joy that Tim Maia carried into every session. It's a front-to-back winner -- one of those albums that deserves a spot not just in Brazilian music history, but in any collection that celebrates great soul, funk, and timeless grooves. If you're a longtime fan, it's a reminder of why Tim Maia is legendary. If you're discovering him for the first time, this is the perfect place to start. Either way: press play, turn it up, and let Tim do his thing. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

BEN, JORGE	Jorge Ben (1969)	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 343LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Jorge Ben is someone who needs no introduction. Since his first hits in the early '60s, this the greatest icons of the greatest icons of Brazilian pop music. His anthems "Mais Que Nada" or "Pais Tropical" are among two of the most ever listened Brazilian songs of all time. Ben's self-titled 1969 album is a true samba-soul masterpiece from one of Brazil's most creative voices. This isn't your typical late-'60s LP: Jorge Ben blends the hypnotic swing of samba with funk, psychedelia, and sun-soaked soul in a way that feels both classic and ahead of its time. Released in November 1969, this was Jorge Ben's sixth studio record, and his first back with the Philips label after a creative hiatus. He recorded it with the tight-knit, percussive groove of Trio Mocotó -- whose rhythms lock in beautifully with Ben's laid-back guitar and vocals. On top of that, the album features lush orchestral arrangements from José Briamonte and Rogério Duprat, adding a soaring, psychedelic dimension to Ben's sound. Standout tracks? You've got the joyous anthem "País Tropical," a perfect celebration of Brazilian life. Then there's "Take It Easy My Brother Charles," a socially conscious number that tells the story of a rebellious sailor -- Ben weaves in themes of race, identity, and resilience. And songs like "Que Pena" bring in that sweet, soulful melancholy, while breezy cuts like "Criola," "Domingas," and "Barbarella" highlight his playful, poetic side. This record is a rare blend of genres -- samba, soul, funk, psychedelia -- and it's got a timeless energy. Whether you're already into Brazilian music or just looking for something fresh and soulful, Jorge Ben's 1969 album is a joyous entry point. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

YIN YIN	Yatta!	LP	GLITTERBEAT	GB 181LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 LP version. On their fourth album Yatta!, the celebrated Dutch quartet YĪN YĪN extends, bends, and ignites a joyous mix of disco, funk, surf, psychedelia, and Southeast Asian motifs. As Yatta! proves, the band's sonic footprint is an ever-evolving kaleidoscope of sounds, textures and beats. As with their breakthrough album Mount Matsu (GB 147CD, 2024), their devotion to getting the dance floor moving remains front and center. That impulse, already strong, has intensified -- Yatta! lifting it to an ecstatic next level. The result? An album that reveals a band whose groove just keeps getting deeper. Certainly, the quartet from Maastricht in the south of the Netherlands has built a reputation for balancing an eclectic range of influences and using them to forge something that is affectionately retro and, at the same time, fresh and forward-facing. From the beginning, YĪN YĪN have been devoted to exploring global sounds with an emphasis on getting the dance floor moving -- an impulse that reaches its peak on Yatta! One major influence is the sound of Italo Disco -- the spacey brand of disco music that arose in Italy in the late 1970s. "It has something of a mystique," says Berkers. "All the producers were using new recording techniques and effects, but there are not many pictures or videos of how they were creating things in the studio. You have to use your own fantasy and create your own story about how that music is created." Across the album, YĪN YĪN specialize in creating the soundtracks to dream journeys, opportunities for the listener to visit places that exist in realms of the imagination. If there's a general direction of travel in YĪN YĪN's expeditions, it's towards the east, with Asian influences coming through loud and clear. It's a fascination that has suffused YĪN YĪN's sound since, in the early days, they stumbled upon a couple of compilation albums of psychedelic '60s and '70s guitar music from Southeast Asia. Adopting Eastern tunings has imparted an unusual feel to YĪN YĪN's music and challenged them as songwriters, and Yatta! is the sound of four musicians finding their own globe-trotting groove, and having the time of their lives exploring it.

LA CUCARACHA BRASS	La Cucaracha Brass	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 340LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 During the sixties, especially the second half, Bobby Marín was an up-and-coming young Nuyorican who was responsible, along with his brother Richard, for producing, writing, or coordinating recordings by Louie Ramírez, Machito, The Nitty Gritty, Willie Rosario, Joe Cuba, Johnny Zamot, Kako, and Azuquita, Charlie Palmieri, and others. Many of these artists were caught up in the ongoing boogaloo movement. So, it was not a surprise when Ismael Maisonave -- an unsung hero of Latin music and owner of Mary Lou Records -- approached Bobby with the idea of reissuing a Raphie Martínez album as a budget LP under a different name, resulting in La Cucaracha Brass. The songs selected for this compilation represent a point in time when the world was getting ready for an incipient monster called salsa, which would take over for years to come. The LP includes descargas, guaguancós, guarachas, as well as the declining boogaloo. It is a collection of recordings by different artists and was named Cucaracha Brass because at that time the group Tijuana Brass was very popular. Most of the songs were taken (six out of eight, presumably) from the Raphie Martínez and the National Combo LP Cool Man (Mary Lou 1002). However, there are noticeable differences between the two albums. "Latin Power" is an explosive instrumental guaracha and descarga, where the trumpet, congas, and timbales deliver powerful solos. "Takin' Over" -- an instrumental boogaloo -- appears as "We Are Taking Over" on Raphie Martínez's album (with a faster tempo and featuring a background voice). "Hey Mama," a boogaloo sung by Bobby Marín, is titled "Do It All Over" on Martínez's recording, featuring a different singer, different lyrics, and a different tempo. As well as the edited versions of tracks taken from Martínez's album, this album comprises songs taken from other Mary Lou Records releases such as Quique Rosa y La Sabrosa Orchestra (Mary Lou 1020).

VA	Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!! Vol.4	2LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 341LP
$37.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 The historical origins of cumbia are nebulous and imprecise. The mythology surrounding it suggests an ancient past when Amerindian, African and European musical sounds were mixed together. After digging deep into the overwhelming archives of Discos Fuentes, Codiscos and Discos MAG in previous volumes, this fourth instalment in the series Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!! comprises 28 Colombian cumbia bangers for the dance floor from the deep vaults of Discos Tropical, all of them originally released between 1960 and 1984. Discos Tropical was a Barranquilla-based label founded in the mid-1940s by Luis Emilio Fortou Pereira, a visionary who helped define Colombian dancing habits and tastes from the previous century. Until the late '50s, most cumbias were orchestral-based. However, even though formats and styles diversified from the following decade onward, these highly popular big bands spectacularly defined the sound of Discos Tropical and livened up the most cosmopolitan dances in the major coastal cities. After the mid-'60s, the big bands gradually fell into decline, but the popular demand for tropical music did not. Facing this situation, the major record companies created smaller-format groups with one particular feature: they mixed accordion music with brass bands. This new volume of Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!! combines well-known classics and rarities that are difficult to find in their original formats. An invitation to enjoy and be amazed, above and beyond ethnographic and academic concerns. Featuring Carlos Haayen Y Su Combo, Bovea Y Sus Vallenatos, Álvaro Cárdenas Y Su Conjunto, Carlos Román Y Sus Estrellas, Luis Enrique Martínez Y Su Conjunto, Pello Torres Y Sus Diablos Del Ritmo, Banda 20 De Julio De Repelón, Andrés Landero Y Su Conjunto, Cumbia Mochila, Combo Maravilla, A.M. Camacho Y Cano, Eliceo García Y El Conjunto Palma Africana, Wasamaye African Rock, Conjunto Maravilla De Palo Alto, Manuel Villanueva Y Su Orquesta, Manuel Caraballo Y Su Conjunto, Pedro Salcedo Y Su Combo, Los Tiburones, Cumbia Bolivariana, Los Curramberos De Guayabal, Juan Polo Valencia, Lucho Better Y Su Orquesta, Florentino Montero Y Su Conjunto, Joe Montes Y Su Orquesta, Tere García Con Ramón Ropaín Y El Trío Fantasía, Los Indios Selectos Con Alberto Pacheco Y Su Acordeón, Rufo Garrido Y Su Orquesta, and Mincho Anaya Y Su Combo Moderno.

VA	Cerrero Dubs	LP	LLORONA RECORDS	LLO 261LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Cerrero steps into his lab like the alchemists of 1970s Kingston: cutting, repeating, filtering, letting the bass breathe, and allowing echo and reverb to give a new dimension to a unique selection of songs from the catalogs of Llorona Records and Discos Pacífico. Cerrero Dubs is a tribute to classic dub, crafted with the soul of cumbia, juga, and bambuco, from Palenque, San Jacinto, Guapi, and Tumaco: live manipulation, sonic experimentation, bass as backbone, delay as tool. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, Son Palenque, Sexteto Tabalá, Bejuco, Agrupación Changó, and Semblanzas del Río Guapi, transported into a universe where the sounds of Colombia 's jungles and coasts are not remixed -- they are deconstructed, twisted, and dubbed. Cerrero -- sound alchemist and founder of Llorona Records and Discos Pacífico -- offers a selection of versions in which the Caribbean and Afro-Pacific sounds of Colombia are transformed into hypnotic, ethereal, psychedelic, and minimalist soundscapes. A reinterpretation of the legacy of iconic groups, shaped through the console and sensitivity of a producer exploring the possible futures of the local sounds.

$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026 Iquitos, one of Peru's most remote cities and the capital of its Amazon region, was the epicenter of the psychedelic cumbia movement. Groups like Los Playboys belong to that mysterious category of almost-forgotten bands. On Ranil's label, Producciones Llerena, they released a superb single -- now reissued here with their track "Play Boy," an instrumental bursting with all the essential ingredients of psychedelic cumbia. Vampisoul complete this single with another great band from Iquitos: Los Roger's. Their magnificent "Descarga Rogers," never before available on 45, is the opening track of their only album and dives deep into Cuban-influenced sounds, where the guitar shares the spotlight with powerful percussion and vocals.

VA	Roots Of Salsa Vol. 4: Classic Latin Tunes Became Salsa Hits	LP	GROSSO! RECORDINGS	GR 039LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Pablo Yglesias -- AKA DJ Bongohea -- compiles for Grosso Recordings an amazing series with classic tunes from Caribbean music that became great successes of "Salsa." Featuring Arsenio Rodríguez Y Su Conjunto, Orquesta Cosmopolita, Tito Puente Y Su Conjunto, Orquesta América del '55, Conjunto Jóvenes Del Cayo, Tito Rodríguez and His Orchestra, Cheo Marquetti Y Su Conjunto, Arsenio Rodríguez Y Su Conjunto, Silvestre Méndez, Conjunto Casino, La Gloria Matancera, Beny Moré Y Su Orquesta, Estrellas De Chocolate, and Chappottín Y Sus Estrellas. "This is the fourth volume in our series on the Roots of Salsa. The main criterion was to pick tracks that sounded adequate for today's DJs to play at a gig or were sufficiently interesting (or enough of a surprise to fans of the later version) to merit inclusion. The other measuring stick was that they needed to come from the old-school, before the more modern era (from 1962 on) and all of its recording innovations and marketing strategies. For now, listen to these dozen gems and then go back to their more familiar cousins from recent times and compare and contrast, and we're sure you'll be enlightened and entertained." --Pablo E.

TONI TORNADO	Toni Tornado	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 339LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Originally released in 1972, Toni Tornado's self-titled debut is a landmark in Brazilian soul and funk -- a gritty, groovy record that helped define the sound of the Black Rio movement. Blending deep soul, psychedelic funk, and bold orchestration, this album channels the revolutionary energy of James Brown with the tropical swagger of Rio's streets. From the urgent rhythms of "Torniente" to the undeniable strut of "Mané Beleza" and "Tornado," Toni's music pulses with a fierce sense of pride and liberation. It's the sound of a new cultural identity taking shape -- where African-American soul met Afro-Brazilian reality. Often compared to the legendary Tim Maia, Tornado brought his own explosive edge to Brazil's growing soul scene. By the 1970s, other Brazilian musicians, such as Banda Black Rio, Cassiano, Gerson King Combo, Jorge Ben, and Gilberto Gil, began making soul records. DJs started throwing soul-only parties. Toni Tornado's voice carries grit and passion, his grooves hit hard, and his message is crystal clear -- Black is beautiful, and the funk is real. Back on vinyl for a new generation, this reissue is more than a collector's gem -- it's a time capsule from an era when music moved bodies and minds. Essential listening for fans of vintage soul, global funk, and revolutionary sounds. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

LEE, IVAN	Upsetter Kids Forever	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	OSMO 003LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 In August of 2023, after a couple of years of not playing reggae, Iván Lee felt the urge to go back to it. Undusting some old recordings and starting to listen to Lee "Scratch" Perry´s voice again opened the gate for inspiration to flow. Laying down basic piano rhythms over drum tracks played by Winston "Horseman" Williams, new songs started to emerge. August seemed to be a fertile month and riding that wave Chimurenga Renaissance came into the studio to collaborate on several tracks of the album, adding mbira, percussion, and guitars plus Tendai "Baba" Maraire´s sharp raps. Just some days later the dancehall legend Lady Ann laid down the vocals for the great "First Lady of Dancehall" track, making the album gain strength and purpose. Recorded between London, New York and Buenos Aires this album has a start studded lineup of musicians and collaborators. Upsetter Kids Forever is the title of Iván Lee´s debut album and it comes from a studio session during which Lee scribbled these words on to Ivan´s jacket. "Years later while working on the album I realized that we were all Lee fans, everyone involved in making this music has been touched and inspired by him."

BORGES, LO	Lo Borges	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 338LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Before he turned 20, Lô Borges released one of the most captivating albums to come out of Brazil's rich musical landscape -- a record that somehow flew under the radar at the time but has since become a cult favorite for listeners around the world. Recorded in the same whirlwind year as the legendary Clube da Esquina -- the groundbreaking collaboration with Milton Nascimento and Beto Guedes -- this self-titled solo debut finds Lô Borges in full creative flight. Pressured by Odeon Records to deliver a solo project, Borges responded with a burst of youthful brilliance, sometimes writing a song in the morning and laying it down in the studio that very night. The result? An album that's spontaneous, heartfelt, and sonically stunning. From the shimmering guitars of "Você Fica Melhor Assim" to the dreamy melodies of "Canção Postal" and the jazz-infused groove of "Calibre," the album blends Brazilian popular music with rock, soul, and subtle psychedelic touches. It's got the intimate spirit of a bedroom recording, but with the musical sophistication of legends -- with collaborators like Toninho Horta, Tenorio Jr., Nelson Angelo, and of course, Beto Guedes helping bring Borges' vision to life. Fans of Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, or early Nascimento will feel right at home here -- but Lô Borges brings his own voice, at once tender and electrifying, to every track. The guitars are fuzzy, the harmonies rich, and the songwriting nothing short of magical. Though it didn't make a splash in 1972, Lô Borges has only grown in stature over the years. It's the kind of album you discover once, then return to again and again -- a timeless treasure from a young artist who helped redefine Brazilian music from the ground up. If you're into warm, soulful songwriting with a touch of experimental edge, this record is waiting for you. Give it a listen -- and see why Lô Borges is considered one of Brazil's most underrated masterpieces. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

VA	Mambo Calypso (2025)	LP	GROSSO! RECORDINGS	GR 022-2LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2026 Zombie Club presents a reedition of Mambo Calypso another volume of sonic Caribbean Cruise. Following the approach of the first volume and understanding the Caribbean as a region is not limited to a strictly geographical demarcation but rather a demographic and cultural space where countries, islands and coastal areas may fall into a common Mare Nostrum even arrives in New Orleans. The influence of African drum and the "Cuban clave" makes different music beyond its specific components be they Latinos, Anglos or Frenchie's -- look at themselves and recognize a certain family. This is not a coincidence, since the slave trade brought African music from the port of Havana to Cartagena de Indias, Nassau, Port-au-Prince, Salvador de Bahía and the southern United States. The same Blackness, the same rhythm, the same festive mood, spirit of resistance and struggle. And so, Arsenio Rodriguez can be heard without jumps next to a Calypso of Blind Blake, or a tasty Pacho Galán's coastal Cumbia crossover with Dave Bartholomew's Mambo or a Latin Swing of Lalo Guerrero, where the Dominican Merengue sounds Joseíto Mateo in line with that of its Haitian neighbor Nemour Jean Baptiste. A very spicy musical "melting pot," a gumbo of percussion and languages, to enjoy and dance. Re-board the Zombie Club Cruise, will not be disappointed. Also featuring Tito Rodríguez & His Orchestra, Benny Moré, The Duke of Iron, Trío Serenata, Mongo Santamaría, Lord Power & Trentos Spence, Celia Cruz y Sonora Matancera, Alvin "Red" Tyler, and Cortijo y su Combo.
