I’d love to be able to roll my tongue like they do in this song! Today I present to you a jolly little number from the early 1970’s called Mala, Mala (Bad, Bad)! Featuring on a record entitled Para Hacer Música, Para Hacer... (translating as To Make Music, To Make…) I’m loving the addition of those handclap embellishments and the occasional joyous yelp here and there!
Issued in 1971 on an Uruguayan label called Sondor, this record was the only full-length offering Miguel y el Comite released. Hailing from Uruguay, this band traded in all things psychedelic rock and band members included, Cacho Bengoechea, Gustavo Luján, José M. Sanguinetti, Miguel Livichich and Washington Pechetto.
Alongside this album, the band issued a handful of 45’s, but didn’t exist much beyond the early 1970’s unfortunately. Out of all the members, it was only singer/guitarist/composer Miguel Livichich who had been in bands previous (he founded the band El Sindykato in 1969) and it was Miguel who continued in music after – though this was a long while after when, after almost 30 years of being away from the stage, he returned in 2001 with the release of his album Capicúa..
I don’t know why the band never went on to record anything other than that one LP, but their limited garage-beat/funk selection is a groovy little listen nonetheless.
Check the whole album out below and enjoy today’s happy little treat above,,,
