Estudiantina Electronica – Colombianas con vestido Hippie

Posted on September 16, 2009 by Milan

colombianas

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:

Hi, Estudiantina Colombia never existed. It`s just a mere fake to present a record previously known as “Tradición in Transición” from a project called Los Electrónicos.

Los Electrónicos released their album in 1971. A mixture of fuzzy, surf sounds on colombian music. Estudiatina Colombia was that same repertoire, changed in order and names (they usted to shown in english).

Reviews from them:

Second the request for track titles, if not a scan of the back cover!

What about the phone numbers of the chicks on the cover?
