Totó la Momposina releases ‘Julio Moreno’

Recorded live at Real World Studios in 1991 as part of the sessions for the 'La Candela Viva' album, 'Julio Moreno' is a previously unreleased track, produced by the legendary Phil Ramone.

La Candela Viva was the album that finally brought Totó international recognition and sealed her reputation in her native Colombia. The track wasn’t included in the final version of that album and the recording was only rediscovered as part of the work that became the Tambolero album, released in 2015.

Finally getting a proper release, ‘Julio Moreno’ is already a live favourite and is a must have for all Totó fans.
