ACHILI FUNK. GIPSY SOUL 1969-1979

"A groundbreaking compilation -- and one that offers up a look at a previously undiscovered scene! The set presents a wealth of soul from Spain -- mostly from the 70s, and often done in styles that are quite different than US work of the decade -- often a lot more dynamic, with weird mixes of rhythms and instrumentation that are totally unique! The grooves here have bits of Latin, touches of funk and flamenco, and lots of offbeat instrumentation and production techniques -- almost the same sort of weird blend that you'd find in the music of Chakachas, a sound that's at once slightly familiar, but often oddly tilted in directions you wouldn't expect. Lyrics are all in Spanish, and production is tight without ever being too slick -- and the package also comes with a huge 112 page booklet -- featuring loads and loads of color photos of older records and artists from the scene, plus full notes in English, Spanish, and Japanese!"
