In the early '70s, composer and arranger Chelique Sarabia decided to register an album of traditional and folkloric songs from Venezuela but giving them a modern touch. Chelique, helped by a team of gifted musicians, treated traditional instruments like the cuatro and the bandola llanera, filtering them through oscillators, playing with tape delay, synthesized frequencies and echoing sounds. Chelique and his team were considered electronic music pioneers in Latin America.
