The birth of Los Indios took place at a key moment for Bolivian music, in May 1968, during the "Festival de la Canción" held at the Félix Capriles Stadium. This event was a milestone for the so-called Bolivian new wave, featuring various groups from all over the country. A month later, Jorge Filipo Dalence, in association with Freddy Valdivieso, decided to launch their own band, Los Indios, ready to make their mark on the music scene. Their discography includes one LP and a handful of EPs released on the Caracol and Imperio labels. Their album not only showcases their musical talent but also represents an important moment in the evolution of rock in Bolivia. The combination of their unique style helped open new doors for other artists in the country's music scene. By 1969, the group was enjoying overwhelming success and widespread popularity. This collection brings together some of their best recordings, captured over the course of their short life as a band, blending beat sounds with garage rawness through a repertoire full of covers of artists such as Deep Purple, Wilson Pickett, and Eduardo Araujo (via Los Iracundos). This is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and includes an insert with notes on the band's history.
