escombros

CD in jewelbox with 2 bonus tracks. ESCOMBROS were the top of the underground scene in Chile, together with Los Jaivas, Blops, Aguaturbia and Kissing Spell. In 1970 they recorded for the Arena-label, which released one single and one LP. Escombros consisted of Walter Sitzmann, Lito Benito, Ricardo Mendeville, Jose Rosenblut and Michel Boisier. Walter's great compositions and vocals on all tracks create a unique and strong underground vibe, with great fuzz guitars, drums, bass and the organ sounding much heavier than with most bands from Chile. Their influences were Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd and Grand Funk Railroad and all lyrics are in English. After this recording Walter left Chile so the band split up. ESCOMBROS is one of the best examples of really cool underground music from Latin America.
