Magín Díaz y el Sexteto Gamerano is a double album by the Colombian musician and composer Magín Díaz, and the backing band Sexteto Gamerano. The first disc was released on 29 October 2015, and the second on 1 November, both on Bandcamp.
Background[edit]
Magín Díaz is a Colombian musician and composer, best known for being the uncredited writer of "Rosa, que linda eres", a song about an unrequited love. Born into poverty, Díaz could not read or write, but was musically talented; the melody of "Rosa" gained popularity and the song was covered by other Colombian artists, it was credited to a distant relative Irene Martínez, for legal reasons. During his life, Díaz spent time in Venezuela to perform with a band and to work on a construction site, but mostly lived in his hometown, Gamero, a small village near San Basilio de Palenque.[1]
In 2015, the manager of Chilean label Konn Recordings (now based in Colombia), Mauricio Sandoval (also known as DJ Subversivo and Mr. Toé), recorded a selection of Díaz's songs for the very first time. The double album, Magín Díaz y el Sexteto Gamerano, was released the same year on Bandcamp. The traditional music is on the first disc, whilst remixes of his songs were on the second, encompassing a wide range of genres such as house, dembow and future bass.[2]
