El Kinto - Circa 1968

* EL KINTO “Complete Collection”: all twenty-two tracks by these Uruguayan legends, whose line-up includes members of Totem and Limonada, and features the compositional abilities of candombe legend Ruben Rada, and his alter-ego, poet/panhandler and acid casualty Eduardo Mateo.

* Inspired by the way the Tropicalistas like Os Mutantes were transforming the pop music of Brazil, El Kinto embraced
their own native music forms—but, as alwaysthey went a step further: yes, they integrated candombe and bossa nova
into beat music, but they also added their own notion of “psicodelics
* As one journalist noted in 1969, “El Kinto, directed by the brilliant Mateo, and amplified to the maximum... creates
a frenzy of rhythmic music in which—with force and conviction—pure wave ‘beat’ is synthesized with the warmth of the African drums.

* CD version: Special slip-case edition comes with an oversize 36-page full-blown booklet packed with photos, detailed
band history, and lyrics for this most important of Uruguayan bands.

* LP version: The highest quality mastering and pressing (done at Acoustech Mastering/RTI in California, the same
people who master and press every title that audiophile label Classic Records makes); the resulting LP is housed in a
poly-lined sleeve, inside an ultra-heavy 1960's style jacket, which is housed in a loose-fitting plastic sleeve. Inside you
will find a double-fold insert packed with photos, detailed band history, and lyrics for this most important of Uruguayan
bands, printed on 100% recycled paper. The LP labels are replicas of the Sondor originals. A top of the line pressing all
the way. Limited edition of 500 copies.
