AUX fm COLOMBIA

AUXfm brings you the second chapter of the Small Room Recording: COLOMBIA 2010. After the Jamaica session, the Colombia mix of cumbia, guaracha, porro, merengue and other more obscure genres gives you pure hard latin music of all the 45s we bought during our time away in the country.

South Bogota

A few shots from Venecia and San Francisco, south of the city. Seemed to spend most my time up in the slums. Colombian cities are very much all the same. The centre of Bogota was quite busy, dirty with people shitting in the street. San Francisco actually had a much nicer atmosphere..
