Album lore

La Ventana, first issued in 1973 by Chile’s Los Jaivas, stands as a pivotal artifact of Latin American folk and rock fusion. Emerging from the fertile grounds of Chilean folk tradition, the album melds indigenous Andean melodies with progressive rock frameworks, a practice emblematic of the era’s nueva trova movement. This 2020 remaster, released on ARCI Music, restores the clarity of the original eleven tracks, including the emblematic “Todos Juntos,” where Andean panpipes and electric guitar converse with measured grace.Recorded during a period when Chilean rock was carving its own identity, La Ventana captures the band’s deft synthesis of native instruments and contemporary rock timbres. The album’s resonance lies in its balance between the ritualistic pulse of folk rhythms and the exploratory spirit of progressive structures, anchoring it firmly in the lineage of rock chileno. For collectors and DJs attuned to Latin folklore and the contours of Andean sound, this remastered edition offers renewed access to a classic signal from the early 1970s.
