"Cumbias con el Miramar is a very hard-to-find, sought-after album released by Discos Fuentes in 1965. Full of excellent cumbias and gaitas for dancing, the record actually is a lot more diverse than the title leads one to believe, as there are lots of other hot rhythms and arrangements on it, taken from Cuban genres like guajira, guaracha, guaguancó, charanga and son montuno... Throughout the album the very simple, spare elemental sound is consistent. The band members at this time included Darío Restrepo (aka 'Guayabita') on piano, Rubén Darío Restrepo ('El Mago') on guitar, Héctor Quintero on saxophone, clarinet, flute, xylophone and vocals, Hugo Gil ('Chamizo') behind the drum set as well as on tumbadora (conga) and vocals, with Hernán Builes being the band's director and bassist (and occasional accordionist)... Soon afterCumbias con el Miramar was released, Builes reformatted the line-up and instrumentation, updating the sound to reflect recent developments in Caracas, San Juan and New York, adding vibraphone in the fashion of The Joe Cuba Sextet, renaming the group Sexteto Miramar and debuting the groundbreaking album ¡Salsa! Mi Hermana... Interestingly, Cumbias con el Miramar contains superior versions of 'Cumbia del sol' - arguably one of the band's most famous and internationally influential songs - and 'Lelogua', both of which had also been recorded earlier for their Zeida LP. In addition, several other tunes from the record - 'Cumbia loca', 'Cumbia de estrellas', and 'Noche y cumbia' - have been popular among DJs, 'sonideros' and dancers for 50 years. But while these cumbias form the backbone of the album and situate it firmly in the folklore of the band's native Colombia, the LP's Cuban-styled songs like 'Mensaje guajiro' and 'Lelogua' point to the other obsession of Colombian audiences, namely that of Afro-Antillean music (that would be marketed as 'salsa' in the following decade). The album offers us a fascinating snapshot of a pivotal period in Colombian music when outside influences (such as salsa from New York) and the wildly popular phenomenon of so-called 'raspa' or 'chucu-chucu' cumbia groups from the interior (described as 'paisa', i.e. not from the Afro-Colombian coastal regions where cumbia began) were initiating a transition from the old sound (and generation) to the new..."

Nice gold paper towel holder on a budget
Color: Gold-aa
For a less expensive option I was please with the assembly and the look. It did come a little scratched but mostly in hidden spots and for the price, can’t be beat. It is not super heavy feeling though, so if you want a really solid heavy holder this might disappoint, however I like that feature since I don’t want heavy things scratching and breaking my counter or tile floor. It doesn’t wobble and I like the color so I am mostly pleased, only giving it a little less of a review because it did come a little scratched

Does the job.
Works as a paper towel holder. Its a stick. It doesnt look like a cheap stick and it didn't break. Which means it met all my criteria. Great job.

Nice product
Color: Gold-aa
when having guests over, it's nice for each one to use their own towel instead of having a 'community' guest towel, or those fancy ones that people feel guilty using. This solved the problem.

Excellent. An invaluable resource!
Format: Paperback
Recently I have been reading a lot of books that have told me that the Bible's story of Adam and Eve plus the Exodus etc. are all myths that are extremely similar. Therefore, we should rethink the Bible and change our understanding of it to a more modern worldview that incorporates this knowledge and denies any sort of originality in the biblical account. John Oswalt thinks differently. He thinks that the Genesis story of origins is not some random piece of Semitic or Mesopotamian literature, but that is really unique revelation from God (and is prepared to back that statement up!).
The book is divided into two sections:
The Bible and Myth
The Bible and History
Oswalt spends the first few chapters defining the world of the Old Testament and trying to find a definition for the word myth. He comes to the conclusion that a myth "the reflection of a certain way of thinking about the world. To be sure, because of the way in which it thinks, the fantastic is often found in myth. But it is not the presence of the fantastic that makes a piece of literature myth; rather, it is the presence of the mythic worldview." This worldview, he asserts, is based off of what he calls "continuity," which he describes as "when the human, natural, and divine realms are expressed and actualized [together]." The worldview that assumes continuity is based on the here and now, and is very panentheistic. Primordial time is a key factor and the gods are dependent on the humans. This is not so with the biblical worldview. The worldview of the Bible assumes transcendence - an independent God meeting with people on his own terms. He then compares and contrasts these views and shows the real differences between stories like Enimu Elish and Genesis 1. He doesn't deny similarities in the narratives, but he shows the differences in the worldviews.
He then moves on to history. Just like the word "myth," Oswalt has to define history, because how civilizations have viewed history in the past has never been the same as Western civilization views history. Then he asks whether or not the Bible is history, and whether or not it matters. He makes several great points here, one of which is that ancient annuals and chronicles never recorded the defeats of kings, yet we find Israel's holy book littered with their failures and mess ups. This is a serious deal when looking at whether or not the Bible is history, because in the ancient way of thinking this surely stands out. He then looks at other questions, like "Are Biblical Faith and Biblical History Inseparable?" and responds to some critics (including Bultmann!).
He then looks into the origins of the Israelites' worldview by means of authorship. Is the Bible a late text that was updated from an older, polytheistic one? "No!" says Oswalt. He deals with critiques here as well before moving on to a brilliant conclusion where he sums up the book and gives us a view of how modernism and rationalism are taking us back to the worldview based on continuity.
Overall, this was a brilliant book and I wish I had read it sooner!!! It seems like so many authors today are trying to convince us that the Bible has so much in common with the other stories of origin out of an anti-biblical or liberal worldview (like
). However, under close scrutiny these criticisms do not stand up. I thank John for this book, and I will be recommending it to countless others!
