When Venezuela's oil wealth made it a 1970s cultural powerhouse, a generation of local artists fused underground rock with synthesizers, funk, jazz, and Latin rhythms into something entirely their own. Soul Jazz's Venezuela 70 was the first compilation to gather this cosmic, forward-thinking music, pulling sixteen tracks from names like Vytas Brenner, Angel Rada, and Miguel Angel Fuster that rarely traveled beyond the country's borders. Think Tropicalia's adventurous spirit crossed with the electronic experiments of Can and Neu. This 10th anniversary edition presses the set on silver vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with extended notes and a download. Street date: August 7, 2026.
