GRUPO CURRAMBA

📜 A Timeless Sound from Santa Cruz Meyehualco

Grupo Curramba, led by the virtuoso maestro Evaristo Lara, is a pillar of the Mexican Sonidera tradition. Emerging from the heart of Santa Cruz Meyehualco, Iztapalapa, they became the soundtrack of the barrio during the early 1980s. The group's identity is defined by Lara’s unmistakable accordion style—fast, hypnotic, and technically superior—which turned every record into a lesson in tropical virtuosity. Adding to their unique charm was the female voice of Candy, whose presence provided a soulful contrast to the heavy, accordion-driven instrumentals.

🔥 The Legacy of Discos Dancing

Throughout their prolific career, the group recorded six LPs for the iconic Discos Dancing label and one for Discos Room, solidifying their place in the pantheon of Cumbia history. Their records, which once sold in the thousands across the tianguis of Mexico City, have now become highly coveted collector's items. Connoisseurs prize these original pressings for their punchy "Mexican Beat," a sound engineered to be played at high volumes by the great Sonideros. Their hits, such as "2da de Las Fichitas" and "Cumbia Sentimental," remain mandatory selections in any serious dance marathon.

🎶 The Featured Track: "Carabalí"

"Carabalí" is a prime example of the "Killer Accordion" style that made Evaristo Lara a legend. It features a relentless rhythm section and melodic lines that bridge the gap between Colombian roots and the urban Mexican experience. This 45 RPM single on Discos Dancing is an essential piece of history, representing the golden era of Iztapalapa’s musical dominance. In EX/EX condition, it is a flawless artifact of the sound that made the whole world turn its eyes to the Sonidero movement.

"The soul of Iztapalapa, forged in the heat of the barrio and the bellows of the accordion."
