V.A. Pippermint Twist (Rockin' Twist - Instrumentals - Exotica And Other Sound From Spain 1958-1966)

Hi folks:

For many years I have had this album in my collection as one of my favorites, since it is a look at the first Spanish bands in the early sixties, bands that with some exceptions later had no repercussion on the Spanish music scene.
There are bands that would later achieve fame in Spain, such as "Los Pekenikes" or "Los Relámpagos", being the best instrumental bands in the country, but that originally had a really raw sound, in contrast to their later elegant sound. .
I would also like to comment on "Espacial" from "Los Continentales", which has always been compared to "Telstar", although "Los Continentales" released it before "The Tornados", I suppose that if it had been behind them as in "Tornados" "The great Joe Meek would have been a worldwide hit.

Enjoy this vision of the birth of Spanish music.

  3. Hi friend:
    It is a very nice album, with the flavor of primitive music. I do not know if it were from Spain it will be appreciated the same.
    Greetings

  4. Hi José. This comp made me think of "Kom van dat dak af", the comp of Dutch music from before the 60's that I made for your own blog.

    1. Hi Rob:
      This is the beginning of music in Spain, before 1958, there was absolutely nothing, only folk music and "copla", a very Spanish style, often accompanied by dancing.
      In the Netherlands you already had rock and roll bands, as can be seen in your "Kom van dat dak af".
      Greetings
