I think it sucks that Timbaland stole from Toto.. She made it so much better, and it’s more of a native colombian sound, and then he messed it all up with his Indian flute Rap hip hop.. meh..

this is produced by Brian Kidd, former co-producer of Timbaland who’s now rollin deep with Polow Da Don.

THIS AINT the correct colombian version. This is a collab version with a few different artists.
Its been recorded quite a few times. Many of us at the timbaland forums knew about this since July of 2005
The one where timbo directly lift it from is where Totó la Momposina sings the lead solo through out the track.

Hit me up if you need.

[...] misled/misleading identification, however, is not so surprising given the way Timbaland passes off Colombians as Indians, among other [...]

thanks for the correction Judd. Diplo said the same thing - that it’s Brian Kidd’s production. the New York Times & a bunch of other places all said it was Timbo in the beginning. He *did* sample Toto La Momposina ‘first’, although this tune is a much more obscure/hard to find release, and props to Kidd, he really flips it.

timbaland wasn’t credited for that beat when the song appeared on the album. i think he is listed on the physical 12″ though.

I knew ‘La Verdolaga’ because of the awesome version by P18 that Tony mentioned in his post, but I did not know it was a traditional Cumbia. Thanks for this version
