Venezuela 70: Cosmic Visions of a Latin American Earth - Venezuelan Experimental Rock in the 1970s cover art

Excavates the wildly inventive, fuzz-heavy rock music that briefly thrived in Caracas during the 1970s oil boom. Influenced by Santana and British progressive rock, local musicians infused psychedelic jams with native Caribbean and Latin rhythms, creating an incredibly eclectic, short-lived musical utopia. The compilation rescues a dazzling, largely forgotten movement of South American experimentalism.
