We’re back for year five 🖐️ and settling into what we do best: records played front to back, in good company, with time and space to actually listen.Each night begins with a short, relaxing guided meditation to bring the room together. Then we drink tea, snack a little, listen to a full album uninterrupted, and hang afterward to talk about what we just heard—no pressure, no right answers.

Week 8:
Emilia Herrera "Gozando Con La Niña Emilia"
Los Cumbiamberos De Gamero & Canta Emilia Herrera — Gozando Con La Niña Emilia is a vibrant slice of Caribbean Colombian folk and dance music that captures the spirited essence of cumbia and porro as interpreted by an iconic voice and her ensemble. Led by the joyful and expressive vocals of Emilia Herrera — affectionately known as La Niña Emilia — and backed by the rhythmic drive of Los Cumbiamberos De Gamero, this 1984 LP blends catchy dance tunes (“Cundé Cundé,” “Periquito con Arroz,” “Coroncoro”) with the raw, joyous energy of coastal Colombian traditions. Herrera’s voice — at once earthy, playful, and deeply rooted in the folk styles of her homeland — brings to life songs that have become beloved in the region’s musical canon, reflecting both everyday stories and the irresistible call to dance. Gozando Con La Niña Emilia stands as both a testament to her singular artistry and a celebration of the vibrant rhythms and communal spirit of Caribbean Colombian music.
