Awesome Latin jazz-funk self-titled LP from Venezuelan band La Retreta Mayor âfounded and led by guitarist Alex RodrĂguezâ originally released in 1976 on Discomoda. First time reissue. 180g vinyl. The short-lived 10-piece band and numerous guest musicians created a jazz-funk & fusion gem considered a reference in Venezuelan music history.

The album contains quite a few heaters for the dance floor like âZamboâ and âLĂquido Elementoâ, blazing with the rich brass section and percussion. DESCRIPTION RodrĂguez is a classical and jazz trained guitarist who in the early days of his career would join some of the best orchestras in Venezuela, including Aldemaro Romeroâs Onda Nueva. He put together this brief project: La Retreta Mayor, which only released this one album.

The group unfortunately disbanded right after the recording and did not play live or record any more music together. The album contains quite a few heaters for the dance floor like âZamboâ and âLĂquido Elementoâ, blazing with the rich brass section and percussion, not to mention the opener âTorta de Panâ, reminiscent of recordings of classic US funk bands such as the JBs.
