[JKL2000]

- Yes it is and much more JKL:
"La Ofrenda de Vytas"(1973) is a pioneering album from Venezuela (believe it or not ) and/or the progressive scene of South America.
Vytas Brenner was born in Germany but grew up in Venezuela and is the "mastermind" of this instrumental album.

What are you going to listen to?
The way Vytas Brenner used the typical Venezuelan instruments like the "cuatro", "the maracas" and "the venezuelan harp" all mixed up with 70's style electronic synthesizers as for example mini Moogs and arps ... definitely, something different and interesting, or, some of the best Venezuelan Symphonic Folk music JKL2000.

From Wiki:
"Highly regarded Venezuelan keyboardist, composer and arranger, who played piano, organ and synthesizer, whose albums "La Ofrenda De Vytas Brenner" and "Hermanos" are considered some of the best progressive rock to come out of Venezuela, died March 18 (2004) of a heart attack in Salzburg, Austria at the age of 57."

Here we go:



Pura Vida.

Thanks for this. I'm listening to it now, and it's excellent! I'd never heard of him - I don't even think he was in the GEPR. This seems like one of the best integrations of prog and folk I've heard, and the synth sounds and other "weird" details are very interesting.

Check out the Maggini fellas doing the Maclolm Arnold Quartets. If you dig Shostakovich and Bartok's, you will prolly dig those, an' shit. Or not. You might hate them. What the heck in the world do I know?

OK, bye.

I wanted to mention this album in the recent SACD-thread.
