Description
Both sides revolves around the same song, and it’s called “Hechicera”. It’s a song written by Rodolfo Heyn Micheletto, aka Rudy Heyn, who was a member of the band the Blue Caps. Originally from Paraguay, they released the song in several countries of Latin America, as it was included in their 1971 album “Sensacional eres tú”, being quite popular at the time.
Then, in 1972, Los Signos, (a group from our fetish country, Bolivia), released the song in their third EP with the record-company “Lyra”. They started as a band in La Paz in 1968, and they were part of the “New Bolivian Wave”.
We’ve chosen this version by Los Signos for one of the sides because we love it so much, and also because we managed to reach Efraín Salazar (the leader of the band), and he kindly gave us his support to our project.
The other A-side contains a powerful and wild version full of psychedelia and Latin garage, as we are used to it in their records and tremendous concerts. A band that we can consider one of the best examples in the West, as far as it concerns to current cumbia and Latin garage. Of course we are talking about Los Malinches, a group from Murcia, Spain.
