Bien Querida - Brujeria - VINYL LP

First time as 2xLP. Limited edition green vinyl 2xLP with download.

Funky soul from Witchita, Kansas - an unlikely locale, but home to some really great music - courtesy of the Smart brothers, and their ultra-hip club! This wonderful entry in the Eccentric Soul series from Numero really brings that lost scene to life - telling the tale of the brothers, their club, and some of the wickedly funky artists that graced their stage - a host of obscure groups, singers, and instrumentalists who really made Kansas cook, back in the day! The groove here is plenty darn hard - as raw as some of the best funky 45s you might find from points north, warmed up with occasional southern soul elements - and always produced with rough-and-ready vibe that gets to the heart of the grit right away. The set comes with a beautiful 28 page booklet - filled with vintage photos, in support of the Smart story, told by Dante Carfagna and Rob Sevier - but even without this added feature, the CD itself would be wonderful - essential listening for fans of all things funky!

Vinyl collectors have been searching desperately for copies of La Bien Querida's albums for a long time now, since they have been out of print for years. Here at Elefant, we are going to put an end to this situation, in reverse chronological order, in March, April and May, and with copies worthy of such a situation. So, the first to come out, skipping over the recent InchBrujeríaInch, will be InchFuegoInch. Fire corresponds to the south, to the color red, to summer, to the heart. The fire of passion, of love and cholera, fire of the spirit and intuition. As Ana herself said InchIt's an album that talks a lot about a desire that reaffirms life, pleasure, self-realization, freedom. The process of living established by desire. A desire that is not dark or confusing but luminous and clearInch. As with the original , the album will be double black-color vinyl with a fold-out gatefold album cover. Songs like InchDinamitaInch, Inch7 Días JuntosInch, InchRecompensarteInch and InchLos Jardines de MarzoInch make it clear just how great this album is.
