Description

HOJAS – MIS SUEÑOS PIDEN / SONDOR 44009 / 1973 / Here's an original copy of HOJAS - Mis Suenos Piden, originally released 1973 in Uruguay on Sondor 44 005. Superrare guitar driven hard psychedelic classic from Uruguay. This is the only LP by this Uruguay early 70’s psych/prog outfit. Great guitar and drums job together with emotional vox make this one an essential album. The record and the cover are in very good condition.

The Magic Land guide reads:
This outfit was, possibly, the only group of importance formed outside the capital city. Natives of Colonia (city distant 150 km of Montevideo and at only 45 km of Buenos Aires), Hojas had a considerable success with their basically melodic and well dressed rock. The guitars, surprisingly very well recorded for the time, interweave intense climax with really prominent passages. The Gustavo Badin solos are great. The compositions are full of arrangements and César Badin vocalisations are superb.

Side B is considerably better than the first one, highlighting such songs as ''Somos estraños'' (We are strange) with good guitar. Maybe one of the most professional groups show business-wise, Hojas -like so many others- could not overcome the coup of 1973 and faded to oblivion in the second half of that year.

Their only recorded legacy is worth a listen and includes their two big successes: "El mundo es una flor" (The world is a flower) and "Mi ciudad a través de la ventana" (My city through the window). The album is very rare and was never reissued.
