Amazing compilation of Litto Nebbia’s recordings from 1971-1988, a magical and prolific time in the career of the Argentine artist and in the history of his record label, Discos Melopea, including different sounds, from jazz to Brazilian rhythms or experimental textures.
Hip-hop artists and producers such as The Alchemist, Jay Electronica and DJs such as Gilles Peterson have openly declared their admiration for Nebbia, generating great interest in his records among collectors around the world.
This double-LP compilation, first one ever released in Europe, comprises twenty one recordings taken from some of his best-known albums and also rarities, tracks previously unavailable on vinyl and songs taken from his most obscure albums, the vast majority never reissued on vinyl before.
Although those ingredients are combined in his songs with the epic and poetic vibes of an undeniably Argentine artistic identity, Nebbia's genius transcends beyond the Southern Hemisphere and in recent years has aroused growing interest among an international audience that only in recent times he has begun to have access to his recordings. In 2020, producer The Alchemist used a recognizable sample of a Litto song in 'The Neverending Story', a song by Jay Electronica, while British DJ Gilles Peterson has often broadcast songs like 'Querida Miusi' or 'For my luck' in his radio shows. The international scene of DJs and vinyl collectors also shows clear signs of its taste for Litto Nebbia recordings, now highly sought after in their original editions, probably as part of a rediscovery of little-explored global sounds, within a journey through music always hungry for exciting new sounds.
This collection of songs extends throughout the period 1971-1988, a magical and prolific time in the career of Litto Nebbia and in the history of his record label, Discos Melopea. It comprises twenty one recordings taken from some of his best-known albums, “Bazar de los milagros”, “Canciones para cada uno”, “Toda canción será plegaria” and also rarities, tracks previously unavailable on vinyl and songs taken from his most obscure albums, the vast majority never reissued on vinyl before.
