ESTRELLA DE MARZO - A Los Ninos Con Amor
Most do not know much about music from Bolivia, like us. Whats flashing in our minds is the Andes, La Paz and flute music by Indios. But there are some great rock & underground bands such as Wara, Climax and most of all Estrella De Marzo. This album (still unknown to most collectors) is not only special because its from a country not many listeners know much about. This album is so great, so much underground, so unique and well crafted, that it goes into a strong competition with most classic underground releases from South America. If you are into wild fuzz guitar ala Zappa, and if you like Kissing Spell from Chile, beautiful vocals with strong lyrics and great beats, you will love this album. The early Pink Floyd has also influenced this album. For us it was one of the big musical discoveries for this year. Every track is great, high spirit progressive underground rock, as good as it can be. This album A Los Ninos Con Amor (To Children with Love) was recorded in 1974 with, keyboards, guitars, drums, bass & vocals. Numbered edition of 500 housed in a heavy sleeve; 180 gram pressing; includes double-sided insert. -Shadoks.
