Estudiantina Electronica – Colombianas con vestido Hippie


A fun instrumental exploito record from Colombia 1974. The cover, with face painted hippie chics and the title, “Colombians in Hippie Clothes”, promise at least some psychedelic music. The drum-organ-guitar-bass combo has more of a cool South American surf/go go sound but derails frequently enough. In fact, I was initially a bit disapointed in this record, but ended up using more than half of it’s songs on various mixes. There’s something fresh about it, if you can get past the novelty/silly stuff. But no, there’s no fuzz or electronics. Only god knows what’s meant by Estudiantina Electronica. Have a listen:
