"el aguila imperial" #3 of set: "el culebrero"* june 2011
*In 1956, while on business trip to Changuinolla I visited the only bar in town called "Bar Neptuno" It had an authentic American made Wurlitzer juke box which played all the latest hits from Baranquilla and Panama, I still recall the most popular hit: "el culebrero". 27 years later, the bar was still there and so was the juke box with the same recording. After much research on you tube for this so popular tune, found out that the title was changed to "La Burrita" I presume because "culebrero" in slang is in that region referred to drug dealers. To see this cute number performed in a video by a very talented group of youngstrs, two of whom, I am told are real life savers from a close by resort www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dc6Wmv8rDY
