already being completed in September, spring came to this hemisphere, the sun appears more boldly in the southern skies, the famous 18 was that, 18 more with the family, the mileage, the high price of gasoline, tolls, pie, red wine and a piece of charred meat on the grill, not as soft as we wanted, cuecas sound and tunes, among many other sounds ... Is also a month that allows us to realize many things that were hibernating a good time, as the sky is blue, the sun burns when he dares, that the air you breathe better, it is almost Christmas, etc. .. . Oh, and also some time ago and have not posted anything in your blog ...
And today has its roots in this month. I tell you I walked cachureando in Valparaiso, for the classic antique fair which is located in the Plaza O'Higgins the day Sunday. Every time I go to that city I make time to go looking and looking at many things, among these, many old records ... And so it was one of the many sales that were out there and found two little things that became part of my personal inventory, which I did not want to miss much time to share. This is no less than two LP, released by RCA in 1969, discs, apparently of their titles, would be the beginning of a couple of this series at some point in this space.
The first and most striking for me is DISCOTEQUE disk called, which could be the inspiration for what in later years was the series All Mixed Discoteque, volume 1, 2, 3, 4 and who knows how many more ... I say this because it has the same format as the latter, ie, a mix of several songs on both sides, a total of 16 per side, with a duration of about 20 minutes per side, arranged in a clear effort to make dance mass "malonesca" that it was sticking by that time. Among all you can mention the national Stereos and The Apparitions, banda latter where he made his debut maestro Eduardo Gatti, also Uruguayans Wrath, Italian Lucio Dalla (yes!, the same as the little one house, oh yeah ...) and Nicola Di Bari, and several Argentine exponents such as The Crickets, Donald or The Young Guard. There is also a group that started the first side, called The Con's Combo, which I refer at greater length later ...
On the second LP I found in those streets of Buenos Aires, for the first PUNCH! (I am fully confident that!), Containing such iconic songs for many of us as Puerto Montt, with repeated and Wrath, perhaps the issue that most people have sung on the beaches of our country (who have not already done sitting in Sandy, a cool evening by the firelight with pine poles and run?). We also found Umbrella Girl, with Argentine pop rock group Los Gatos, The Apparitions, with the theme When a man falls in love, with English version of the song "When a man loves a woman", popularized globally by Percy Sledge early sixties, and other things with local rhythms and Pachangueros as the party in half, sung by René Duval (cha cha cha style, very ad hoc in these times of elections) or Chevecha in mariachi sound, sung by Palito Ortega ... And then the latter, again The Con's Combo.
To get down to about The Con's Combo, want to look out for the next letter: "I'm going to lock my heart in a bottle of wine, to look behind the glass to the crazy world I live, with the liquor, my unrequited love has to pass into oblivion, I'll sing, I will provide, so life is better ... " ... Is able to remember? . Yes?, Right? ... Ok, if they do, imagine it with a beat-like rhythm, and interpretation in English gringo ... Now if ...? That's The 's Combo With !.
I have to admit to you that the song title and name group, did not say anything when I had the disc in my hands, but to play for the first time in my beloved turntable uuuuuhhhh, I came to my mind a lot of memories of goat kid, my mother, an uncle who had sick records, a radio playing somewhere in the house, and great people in my neighborhood these rhythms dancing ... For the same reason I wanted to not only be in the song that brings PUNCH!, But I could work out a bit more about who were these men, a task quite difficult, unless the site http://60spunk . m78.com / dedicated to sixties garage punk, where you write something about this group. The concrete
is that The Con's Combo is a group that was integrated by some Swedes, who had their artistic peak just not in Sweden, or Europe as you might think, but in Argentina, where they remained for about 9 years. Made several singles and a total of 3 LP, production also allowed them to do some tours of several Latin American countries especially. The story begins in the early sixties in the city of Katrineholm in Sweden, when Conny and Christer Söderlund brothers wanted to assemble a band to play their idols, integrating in this project to a cousin, Ingemar Söderlund, who ultimately became to handle the voice, they three plus Johannes Ljungkvist, Ulf Hellqvist, Nils Sandström, beginning this project, remaining at a hobby level, without major projections in the Swedish pop scene. This changed years later when the brothers meet Owe Monk pioneers, and with him some members of the South American band Lecuona Cuban Boys, with whom they decide to make a trip to Finland. On this road is Osvaldo Venini, a member of Lecuona Cuban Boys, who convinces them to travel to Argentina, promising that there were several alternatives so that they will play and further develop their love of music. And so it was that these men ended up in the sister republic, a country where they remained almost a decade.
They became so popular in its heyday appeared an average of three times a week on television programs in Argentina. An important milestone for this was to represent his native country in the Eurovision Song Brazil, in 1968, resulting in the tenth place among 34 countries, an achievement considering the quality of those who have been there (for example, represented Paul Anka to Canada). Finally, in mid-seventies, the members of the group decided to return to Sweden, satisfied with what was achieved in the southern lands of this continent.
In the course of With 's Combo is a very particular event referring the friend http://60spunk.m78.com/ site, which would have happened to Conny Söderlund, in an appearance as soloist was in a TV show in Los Angeles, out there between 1969 - 1970. The fact is that all that occurred in Argentina singles were pressed in 33 1 / 3, which is unusual in the music industry of that time and it happened that in this presentation, who was responsible for launching the musical curtain did take one of these singles but playing it in higher speed, ie 45 rpm ... This accident would have marked the beginning of the punk music of Swedish origin in the world ... As simple and eloquent.
And Bunting Colorado, this story is over ... Best we know what brings these gems newly acquired and, of course, compatible with much love to you:
