Via Libre / Rupo Amigos Chi Chi (Mentira) / La Gira Del Diablo

For months, we’ve been hiding this stunning announcement about a project that has taken years to develop.
We're starting a series of official reissues of 45rpm singles about incredible rare music made in Central America during the 60’s and 70’s. We’re taking great effort in giving these tunes a second chance. These are songs full of potential that fell by the wayside, that didn’t manage to be a hit in their home country, that came out as minimal pressings or only for promotional distribution on local radio stations. Locating one of these original pieces represents a titanic labor that only a few will succeed.
As a way to offer these tracks again in vinyl, Discodelic presents its second release in association with Groovie Records (Portugal).
This first 7” entry exhibits two bands from Costa Rica who were influenced by Brazilian music: Via Libre and Grupo Amigos, from 1974 and 1976, respectively.
Two hallucinating cover versions in Spanish, originally by Marcos Valle and Trio Ternura. The full story of how these bands absorbed obscure Brazilian sounds is unfolded in the liner notes.
Limited edition of 500 copies worldwide.
Includes postcards with liner notes and Discodelic sleeve.
