Pedro Laza y sus Pelayeros have released their latest album, Soy Pelayero, and it's a must-have for any fan of Colombian folk music. The album features a mix of traditional cumbia and porro rhythms, with Laza's signature accordion playing at the forefront.
The opening track, "La Piragua," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. Other standout tracks include "El Gallo Tuerto," which features a lively call-and-response between Laza and his bandmates, and "El Sapo," a slower, more soulful track that showcases Laza's versatility as a musician.
Throughout the album, Laza and his Pelayeros demonstrate their mastery of Colombian folk music, with tight rhythms and intricate instrumentation. The production quality is top-notch, allowing each instrument to shine through without overpowering the others.
