Joropop: Psych Pop & Folk In Venezuela 1968-1976 [LP]

Va - Joropop: Psych Pop & Folk In Venezuela 1968-1976 [LP]

Welcome to a kaleidoscopic picnic where you can feast on a music scene that was rich, sparkling, multi-colored, ground-breaking and it'll blow your mind. A prodigious soundscape that blends the Caribbean and the Amazon sophistication and flavors; raw yet delicate textures. Joropop: Psych Pop & Folk in Venezuela, 1968-1976 features infectious Latin rock rhythms and timeless folk melodies across 15 ultra-rare tracks -- most of which have never been reissued until now. The golden age of Caracas pop started in 1965. It replaced the wave of cloyingly romantic song writing as fresh talents leant into richer and more complex styles: folk-rock, psychedelia, soul, hard blues, symphonic pop, Latin rock etc. Singer-songwriters, experimental electric guitars and jam sessions all appeared on the scene, creating music that became increasingly refined and free. The industry took a while to catch on to this new trend and leave behind the teen idols and dream lifestyles. By the late '60s, there was a long list of new bands in the capital city. Young people finally found their voice. Featuring El Zigui Y Una Luz, Grupo Espiga, Grupo Syma, La Fe Perdida, Ladies W.C., Los Fabricantes De Muñecas, Los Memphis, La Cuarta Calle, Grupo C.I.M., Grupo Pan, Los Rangers, Los Chicos Malos, Ciruela, The Four Blues, and La Cuarta Calle.
