Pupo felicita a Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto por su nominacion a la 8 entrega anual de los GRAMMY Latinos.

August 30, 2007 - 2007 LATIN GRAMMY NOMINATION FOR SMITHSONIAN FOLKWAYS RECORDINGS - Congratulations to Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto from Colombia for their 2007 Best Folk nomination for Un Fuego de Sangre Pura. With Un Fuego de Sangre Pura (A Fire of Pure Blood), the roots of the cumbia thrive in the music of Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto from Colombia's violence-torn Caribbean hinterlands. The sounds of long-tubed gaita flutes, unique drums, and maraca stoke the fire of the cumbia and of other regional dances—the fast-paced puya and porro, the cadential gaita corrida , and the bullerengue. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, the senior statesmen of their tradition, are an animated emblem of Colombian nationhood and a resilient fountainhead for some of Latin America's favorite dance rhythms.
