Every Colombian knows of one of the oldest folk song in his/her country's history, "La Pollera Colora", and this song has been redone by many bands into many genres, except the rock/pop version. I bring this Colombian song to a more modern audience, yet keeping its traditional touch.

This is a first song produced by my personal label "Tinto Records". I feature a friend Christian Guevara as an invited artist in this song; he plays all the main percussions including the congas, emulated tumba, and maracas.

ay,al son de los tambores
esa negra se amaña
y al sonar de la caña
va brindando sus amores
es la negra Soledad
la que goza mi cumbia,
esa negra sarabulla oye caramba
con su pollera colora

por eso le digo oye mi negrita goza oye caramba
(con su pollera colora)
Ay como sandunguea, esa negrita Soledad
(con su pollera colora)
De alla y pa'ca la negrita, pone a goza
(con su pollera colora)
No me niegues, oye morenita, y ven pa'ca'
(con su pollera colora¡')

ay,cuando le canto a Soledad
es que estoy yo contento
porque con su movimiento
inspiracion ella me da
Tiene sabor de canela
o rico sabor a pìmienta
como esta de contenta
con su pollera colora
