Miguel Y El Comite

***NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL!!! EL SYNDIKATO made MIGUEL LIVICHICH a rock star in South America; but it was his sole effort as MIGUEL Y EL COMITE that made him a groove-loving crate-digger’s dream! Livichich left El Syndikato, and in an instant, formed another band, joining forces with an existing group called FEELING ROCK. This new group was called Miguel y el Comité (Miguel and the Committee)—a clear allusion to Livichich’s previous group (the Syndicate), and also a demonstration of his leadership role; even though Miguel y el Comité worked as a proper band in their structure, Miguel Livichich made all decisions concerning the group. The band's 1971 album, with Livichich firmly at the helm, fused the local candombe rhythm with beat music in an unusual and aggressive (oft-times funky, break-beat) way. Miguel y el Comité played mostly original songs, but they also mixed in covers of tracks by other Uruguayan bands. Printed on old-school tip-on jacket, and includes insert with photos, interviews, and liner notes.
