EMBRUJO - Same, Chile 1971 (SHADOKS 129)
LP 500 numbered / heavy sleeve / 180 gram pressing /2 page insert
The band KISSING SPELL changed name to EMBRUJO in early 1970 due the fact of the political climate in Chile in the because it was less than ideal for a band with an english name. EMBRUJO is the Spanish translation of the word Spell (bewitched).
So Embrujo is the same band as Kissing Spell and the album came out on Arena Records in 1971. Among the great albums from Chile like Blops, Aguaturbia, Los Jaivas and Escombros, this album is just amazing, just like their first. Beautiful compositions and instrumentation, very well played, strong vocals and poetic lyrics, we would vote this album as one of the best from whole South America.
Chile seems to be "the county" for extraordinary pop and underground songs going right into the heart.
What a shame after 1973 until 1990 (Pinochet dictatorship ) no more bands could work anymore. We are missing a lot of great future albums by those bands.
LP Reissue of a South-American psychedelic masterpiece.
Chile's embrujo's (a band previously known as Kissing Spell in 1970) released this their sole album in 1971 on the Arena label and it is a very rare and collectable item that lives up to the hype.
Featuring flute, electric and acoustic guitars, piano and keyboards it features beautiful soft melodies alongside rock/pop psych very much like Kissing Spell.
An essential South American psych album for any serious collector of the genre.
