First ever reissue of the sole long-playing album by Colombia's Los Chicos Malos, originally released by Discos Fuentes in 1980. Los Chicos Malos was a short-lived Colombian "super group" of sorts from Cartagena with acclaimed pianist and composer V?ctor M "El Nene" del Real as orchestra director and arranger. Vocals were shared by John Jairo Murillo and V?ctor Mel?ndez, both known for their work with The Latin Brothers. Produced by the legendary Mario Rinc?n, this highly sought-after LP is an irresistible mix of uncompromisingly hard salsa and cumbia infused with infectiously happy melodies punctuated by a distinctive double-trombone attack inspired by the Nuyorican street sound of Willie Col?n. Presented in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180g vinyl. Part of Vampisoul's reissue series of classic Fuentes LPs. Los Chicos Malos was a short-lived Colombian "super group" of sorts from Cartagena with acclaimed pianist and composer V?ctor M "El Nene" del Real as orchestra director and arranger. Vocals were shared by John Jairo Murillo and V?ctor Mel?ndez, both known for their work with The Latin Brothers, a popular Discos Fuentes band that El Nene had collaborated with previously as well. The three also worked with V?ctor del Real's close childhood friend Joe Arroyo and his orchestra La Verdad during the 1980s, while El Nene had written and arranged for Michi Sarmiento in the 1970s and Adolfo Echeverr?a in the early 80s, later going on to found El Nene y Sus Traviesos in the 1990s. After Los Chicos Malos, Jairo founded and led Orquesta Libertad in the later half of the 1980s. The sole Los Chicos Malos long-playing album was produced by the legendary Mario Rinc?n and released in March 1980.
