Gloria Martin - En Concierto -1972- (LP, Philips), Venezuela


Finally I am able to present another album by my favorite Venezuelan singer Gloria Martín. For all information about her and her absolute masterpiece album I direct you to this post over at Archaic Inventions. This Live album by Gloria Martín from 1972 is evidently more revolutionary than her self-titled album, allthough some of those songs are present here as well. It conforms much more to the Nueva Canción music she is known for. Martín knows like no other how to combine simple everyday life themes with more revolutionary discourse throughout her songs. She does it all with great intelligence and elegance through which the early seventies in Caracas is being heard. It's a pure insight into the intellectual and student-revolt mentality of Venezuela during that era and pure beauty of the mind of a poetical, rebellious and intellectual left-wing girl. I won't go too much further into the music, because I want the songs to speak for themselves.

Absolutely essential and highly recommended!
