Folklore Urbano's second CD is ecstatic and sexy and subtle and passionate, richly textured Colombian music with a groove made for dancing. Featuring Ronald Polo on vocals, Pablo Mayor's NYC collective makes Colombian rhythms sound brand new, with a fresh take on cumbia, porro, chalupa, and other classic styles. Original compositions, like the burning "Dobladillo a la Lengua," make Baile/Dance one of the essential Colombian releases of the past several years. It's as thrilling for those just discovering Colombian music as it is for long-time aficionados.
