a month ago I appeared in this space ... Things work, family and self have taken time to start a new communication. But here we are, as proposed at the beginning of this project, to share memories and sounds of a significant time for many, especially those who have dared to visit this place, by accident or by data, either inside the country, as out as well.
This time I will present a record of another series of named and RCA Victor, published in 1971 ... I mean EXPLOSIVE Volume XII. Unfortunately the only explosive I have, and I have been very difficult to ask where you can find copies of the above. This album, like those presented in this blog is a compilation of popular topics on the radio stations of those years, a combination of Anglo and Hispanic performers. Among the latter I refer to two in particular: our Gloria Simonetti, and Venezuela, Mr. Henry August Stephen Pierre, better known as Henry Stephen.
Regarding Gloria Simonetti, I agree with many reviews that rate it as the most accomplished artist in our country and one of the most beautiful voices in popular music in Chile. Since the start in the profession as a singer, until now, has kept in force, with a total of 15 albums to his credit. Signs its first contract to RCA Victor 1967, doa years later won the international competition of the Festival of Viña del Mar, at a time that actually made a quality competition. Another interesting fact is that in 1971 became the first woman to perform a concert in our country, the Teatro Municipal in Santiago with great public response. Subsequently, 1973, was chosen as the best performer in the Festival of Bulgaria, with the theme "Our Time Ends" by Luis Advis, the same year obtained the 2nd place in the Festival of Puerto Rico from 70 participants. He continues with his artistic life at a different level from that time, no recording contract, producing their own creations, and supporting other artists, which has not sidelined the recognition of the national average, the proof is that two of his most recent album, "Reason to live" (2001) and "With everything I have" (2004), have won nominations for the prize Altazor ...
On the other hand, it is interesting who almost 60 years, continue to maintain voice quality, as it appeared in the early seventies, as is the case of the songs on the LP Explosivo of this opportunity, "Until you decide to return", belonging to the prominent composer national, still active, Jaime Atria Rosselot, son of Jaime Atria, author of the famous theme "Consent." understand that currently resides in the Viña del Mar, away from everything that smacks of television and celebrity ... Good for her!, Beauty deserves it ...
The closing track on side B of Explosives Vol XII is the rhythmic "Pampered Carita", played by Venezuelan Henry Stephen ... To hear for the first time anyone confuse him with someone from Argentina's invasion of that time, something like Palito Ortega, or Donald ... But no, the thing is not so. This man, dark complexion, has a good history in his country, and is considered one of the pioneers of rock movement in this nation, to lead the band known as The Impalas, which not only succeeded in Venezuela for the years 60, but also in other Latin American countries. With regard to the legacy of his career, either as soloist or member of other groups, has recorded about 20 albums. "Carita Pampered" corresponds to the main theme of the LP of the same name launched in the country in 1970, later became known in other Hispanic countries through single format, including our country. Today this man is still alive and well, performing with other members of The Impalas, both at home and abroad ... No doubt a character. Do not you know ...? Well now you know. The remaining items contained in the explosive Vol XII LP (mono version) is broken down as follows:
