Estudiantina Electronica – Colombianas con vestido Hippie

Added on 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:

    Dang – amazing. You got the mp3s of these? Can’t find em anywhere – I would LOVE to listen to this every day…

  5. 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:
