Kompis! Kompis! crate findings in Santiago de Chile, part 3

This was a lucky grab I made because normally I wouldn't suspect that a record with this kind of cover art contains some marvellous tunes... I don't know why it catched my interest, at first it sounded as one more of all those boring South American troubadours chanting their so important messages with some kind of nonsense music in the background. But I capitulated completely when the needle hit this tune that without a doubt has an interesting and appealing bossa folkish musical arrangement with those cool and clear sounding vocals and the repeating hook going on and on "...conversacao, conversacao, conversacao de paz..." ending up with a nice psyche finale ecoing "...bla, bla, bla, bla, bla-bla-bla!". The song "Conversacao de paz" ("Peace talks") is performed by Sergio Ricardo from Brazil. Apparently a quite known singer, composer and multi instrumentalist. (The song is so good that it qualified to be in the latest podcast show of Wichita Linemen - some friends of ours that soon also will be appearing here at Kompis! Kompis!)

Kompis! Kompis! crate findings in Santiago de Chile, part 2

This record is not so rare or difficult to find. In fact, the copy I grabbed of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band (S/T) is a Chilean promo issue - with charming translations to Spanish of the song titles on the cover. The tune I like is Sunshower. A sweet midtempo mix of soul, soft afroish beats, sensual vocals and kids tuning in with their choir voices in the beautiful chorus. A chorus that you probably recognize as M.I.A. used it in her first hit Sunshowers a couple of years ago now...

Kompis! Kompis! crate findings in Santiago de Chile, part 1

During the Kompis! Kompis! world tour in Santiago, Chile, the next 6-7 months, we'll be posting som interesting, curious or simply right on damned fine cuts that we've been finding in this LA-look-a-like mad and inmense South American capital.

First up is a bongo-sparkling quite groovy latin jazz song beautifully performed by Peggy Lee. It's the Cole Porter tune I Am In Love...and the first strofe is not a mind reading of GWB, even if one could think so (excluding that part of love, of course):

I am dejected. I am depressed.

Yet resurrected and sailing the crest.

Why this elation, mixed with deflation?

What explanation? I am in love.

Such conflicting questions rise

around in my brain: Should I order cynanide

or order champagne?
