Alfredo Barrantes - Cumbia De Carnaval

Review by Jeffrey Davidson

Cumbia De Carnaval by Alfredo Barrantes: A Fiesta for Your Ears (and Hips) Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Alfredo Barrantes’ Cumbia De Carnaval is like that one friend who shows up uninvited but ends up being the life of the party. It’s Colombian cumbia gold, straight from the heart of Latin grooves and onto your playlist—if you’re smart enough to hit play, that is. Released under Real Records, this album feels less like a collection of songs and more like an invitation to dance until your shoes fall off. Now, I’m not gonna bore you with every track—because let’s face it, nobody has time for that—but two songs stuck out like glitter on a piñata: “Rio Manso - Cumbia Bendita” and “Cumbia Del Carnaval.” Let’s dive in. First up, “Rio Manso - Cumbia Bendita.” This tune hits different, man. The rhythm? Smoooooth as butter melting on warm arepas. There’s something about how the accordion flirts with the percussion—it’s practically whispering sweet nothings into your eardrums. And just when you think it can’t get better, BAM! The brass section comes in like a surprise guest at a barbecue. You’ll find yourself nodding along before realizing you’ve been swaying side-to-side like a palm tree in a tropical breeze. Then there’s “Cumbia Del Carnaval,” which might as well be renamed “The Song That Won’t Let You Sit Still.” If this track were a person, it’d be the one dragging you onto the dance floor even if you swore you’d only come for the free empanadas. The beat is infectious—like, call-the-CDC infectious. Every drumbeat feels like a nudge saying, “Hey, quit pretending you don’t wanna move.” By the second chorus, I was half-convinced my living room had turned into a full-blown carnival parade. Hats off to Barrantes for making me feel alive while simultaneously questioning my decision to wear sweatpants. What makes Cumbia De Carnaval stand out isn’t just its toe-tapping beats or vibrant energy—it’s the way it transports you. Listening to this album feels like stepping into Colombia during festival season, minus the sunburn and overpriced souvenirs. It’s raw, real, and packed with enough soul to make your abuela proud. So yeah, Alfredo Barrantes didn’t just create an album here—he crafted an experience. One listen, and you’ll realize cumbia isn’t just music; it’s therapy for anyone needing a little extra spice in their life. Honestly, after spinning these tracks, I almost considered booking a flight to Cartagena…until I remembered I still have rent to pay. Final thought? Life’s too short not to salsa—or cumbia—every now and then. So grab this album, crank up the volume, and let Alfredo remind you why dancing awkwardly in your kitchen should totally count as cardio.
