Various – Venezuela 70 (Cosmic Visions Of A Latin American Earth: Venezuelan Experimental Rock In The 1970's) (2xLP)

Soul Jazz Records revisits Venezuela 70 with a fully remastered edition celebrating ten years of this pioneering compilation. Featuring artists including Vytas Brenner, Pablo Schneider, Angel Rada and Miguel Angel Fuster, it remains the first collection to document the remarkable underground sounds emerging from Venezuela in the 1970s.

Fueled by economic prosperity and shaped by influences from across Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond, Venezuela’s music scene became a fertile meeting point for new ideas. Artists drew on funk, jazz, progressive rock, electronic experimentation and regional traditions to create a sound entirely their own.

The result is a fascinating collection of adventurous music where synthetic textures, Latin rhythms and exploratory rock sit side by side, capturing a moment when Venezuelan artists were pushing in bold new directions.
