Following the success of our 2020 release \u201cAm\u00e9rica Invertida\u201d (VAMPI 205), a fascinating survey of Uruguay\u2019s lesser-covered \u201880s endeavours in new wave pop, jazz-fusion, ambient folk and electronics, it\u2019s now time to cross to the other side of Rio de la Plata and let yourself go with the overwhelming musical output of Argentina\u2019s very own Melopea Discos.<\/p>\n
Born partly out of necessity and partly by a twist of fate, Melopea is a record label from Argentina created at the end of the 80s as a vehicle for the creative curiosity of its founder, Litto Nebbia, to document music not supported by the music industry.<\/p>\n
The songs that form \u201cViento Sur\u201d do not provide a comprehensive vision of the different styles of the label but rather an approach to its more experimental side.<\/p>\n
This compilation puts together a selection of songs that explore fusion with an air of mystery and a side of exquisite sensitivity across 11 carefully curated tracks. From the southernmost latitudes of the American continent, \u201cViento Sur\u201d brings soft and warm atmospheres that intermingle with more earthly pulses; sounds that reflect the beauty and richness of Argentina, from the jungle to the pampas, the subtlety of the forest, and the effervescence of the R\u00edo de la Plata and its neighboring candombe.<\/p>\n
\u201cViento Sur\u201d has been compiled by Argentine DJs and collectors B\u00e1rbara Salazar and Alejandro Cohen (dublab) based in Buenos Aires and Los Angeles respectively.<\/p>\n
This release is presented with obi strip and a 4-page insert including liner notes and photos. Most of the tracks are reissued here for the first time and many of them were previously unavailable on vinyl. Remastered sound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
