Space Echo - The Mystery Behind the Cosmic Sound of Cabo Verde Finally Revealed! (Vinyl 2LP)

Originally landing in 2016, this reissued 2LP set of must-hear tunes from Cape Verde's islands brings together the music of a generation whose sonic origin story has to be read to be believed. A shipwrecked boat containing cutting edge synths and instruments washed up on shore in 1968, giving the local schools access to the music of the future! Wild! - Flying Out

In the spring of 1968 a cargo ship was preparing to leave the port of Baltimore with an important shipment of musical instruments. Its final destination was Rio De Janeiro, where the EMSE Exhibition (Exposição Mundial Do Son Eletrônico) was going to be held.

It was the first expo of its kind to take place in the Southern Hemisphere and many of the leading companies in the field of electronic music were involved. Rhodes, Moog, Farfisa, Hammond and Korg, just to name a few, were all eager to present their newest synthesisers and other gadgets to a growing and promising South American market, spearheaded by Brazil and Colombia.
