VARIOUS ARTISTS "ALGO SALVAJE Vol 2” (Munster Records)

‘Something Wild’ is the translation of this title, the second volume of Munster Records project compiling Spanish rock, indi, pop and other underground music from the 60s. Living under the Franco’s regime, Spanish music of the time - or at least whatever got airplay - was heavily censored. Still music from Great Britain and the USA influenced generations of musicians under the dictatorship and an underground scene grew hidden from the Franco’s watchful eyes. Algo Salvaje brings together a lot of those sounds, some of them re-issued for the first time. Much more than just a music compilation, these albums represent a social document of those times where young Spaniards forged their identity between a fascist regime and a changing psychedelic world outside their borders.
