Genesis (Columbia) - Genesis. LP. (Guerssen Records - GUESS034) Not UK, nor USA,, no, not Uruguay, but Columbia. This Genesis comes from Columbia, and it’s a shame they used such a common name, as their music is absolutely unique! Founded by Humberto Monroy (ex-Speakers) in the very early 70’s, they released a bunch of lps, of which this is the second one. This was recorded in March 1974 and is a record that is still unmatched in its field. Flutes, acoustic, electric & 12 string guitars, percussions, bass, occasional harmonica and brilliant vocals offer an unusual and charming sound in the folk, rock & psychedelic veins, but always with a wonderful Andinean folk feel. Most of the tracks are written by Humberto but the more famous number included on the album, was a chilling cover of "Como decirte cuanto te amo" by Cat Stevens. Spanish languaged lyrics praise the beauty of the environment and contain social message in favour of farmers, natives & lower classes people. This is the first ever reissue of such a wonderful album, and it’s a limited edition of 500 vinyl units only. Comes with insert w/linernotes and pictures.

Genesis (Columbia) - Yakta Mama. LP. (Guerssen Records - GUESS035) 1975, only one year after their second and probably most succesful, was the time to get the third in stores. They gave it the title of "Yakta mama".This followed the same direction than their second and you get here an amazing set of extremely well played mix of folk, rock, psychedelia and Andinean folklore flavour. Killer stuff and no more! I can only tell you this is an obligatory purchase for anyone into folk-rock, psychedelic & ethnic rock!!! Strictly Limited to 500 copies only, with re-mastered sound and insert.
