Thanks Abakua,
As you say, there's a lot out there, so I'll have to take some time, given my budget and availability right here in Colombia.
You list many groups/composers, but you don't give any rhythmic description about them, or your personal taste for them. That is, I don't know the majority of them, so I would appreciate any specific recommendations (albums/cds, for example).
On the other hand, the rhythmic description could help also: a year ago I bought a recopilatory cd of Ignacio Piñeiro's Septeto Nacional (some thing like their music from 1928-1940) and that's definitely what I'm not looking for. I might be wrong, but it was all SON. I'm looking for rumba, columbia, guaguancó, abakua, comparsa.
Anyway, thanks for your advice. I would really appreciate if you, or others, can give me a more precise list.
