Turn the Lights On 9. Lia Uy Mientes (3:27) An irresistible collection of ye-y, rock roll, twist, beat, garage, rhythm blues, soul and Latin sounds From the early 60s and a difficult political and social context, Spanish female singers - and those who moved to Spain- disregarded conventions and overcame all barriers to be part of a music movement that shook the Spanish society of the period. Includes sleeve notes by expert Vicente Fabuel and a fantastic selection of record sleeves and photographs. At the same time told by the international clock and with almost no delay at all, Spanish girl pop made itself present when it was necessary. Oblivious to the scarcity of exciting sounds that late-Francoist Spain offered them, the Spanish girls disregarded conventions and overcame all barriers and suspicions without letting the latest fashionable hairdo get ruined. In those doubtful years during which, apart from copla, any other music style was considered highly suspicious, the leading girls didnt hesitate and abandoned themselves to the whole musical range, both local and international, at their disposal. Despite the difficulties, and there were many, the incipient permeability of Spanish politics of the time played its part and, from 1963 onwards, female ye-y became an absolute reality that shook the Spanish society of the period. A true salvation, a social panacea, thats what female ye-y was in 1960s Spain, a small revolution of customs dressed in a mini-skirt and playing at 45 rpm. In the wake of its charm, modernity and intrinsically female character, everyone in Spain became ye-y and the social landscape gained freedom following the trail left by the girls. Thanks to it, the continuous socio-musical changes that came immediately after from all over the world (beat, garage, soul, psychedelia, prog) didnt catch anyone wrong-footed. For a while now, various compilations have been released in Spain documenting styles, scenes and artists belonging to such happening decades (creatively speaking) as the 50s, 60s and 70s, and nevertheless, there hasnt been one featuring only female contributions to the cause. Because we could never thank them enough for their effort, Vampisoul brings you this first volume of Chicas, showing how this exquisite group of Spanish girls covered with talent, class and glamour the period ranging from 1962 to 1974. Its been a pleasure to dig through hundreds and hundreds of recordings from those years with no premise but to find capital songs, the relevance of which cannot be denied today. Finally, I must make two observations: firstly, when compiling Chicas all genres have been considered: Latin, rock roll, twist, ye-y, beat, garage, rhythm blues, soul Secondly, apart from celebrating all the shining artists featured here, I must confess that when I immersed myself into those hundreds of records, I was surprised to find out that, not on purpose, the final selection contained a great number of recordings released on the Catalan label Belter. Personally, once again, its been an honour to revisit and rediscover the unbelievable legacy of the fascinating, mysterious and immense records of the Belter factory. An irresistible mix of Salsa, Cumbia, Boogaloo, Tropical Funk, Chicha and more. To understand what this compilation refers to as the Afrosound of Colombia, you have to acknowledge the profound role of African cultures in Colombian life and music. It tells of the enslaved African peoples who were taken to Colombia, who mixed with Europeans and indigenous inhabitants (by force or choice), and were eventually set free, as well as the escaped cimarrones (maroons) that lived in palenques (fortified settlements) and continued their own traditions. The Afrosound sings of a double Diaspora, first the trek in chains during the infamous Middle Passage from the Motherland of Africa to the so-called New World, then much later, the migration from the plantations to the cities.
