ELIA Y ELIZABETH
ALEGRIA/PONTE BAJO EL SOL (VAMPISOUL)
Colombian sisters Elia and Elizabeth Fleta recorded a handful of songs between 1972 and 1973, accompanied by Jimmy Salcedo and his group La Onda Tres, mixing soft-pop with a touch of tropical-pastoral funk, singer-songwriter sweetened by the subtle perfume of Caribbean music and psychedelia.
We are now happy to present two of the most celebrated songs by the Colombian sisters together on a 45 for the first time.
Colombian sisters Elia and Elizabeth Fleta recorded a handful of songs between 1972 and 1973, accompanied by Jimmy Salcedo and his group La Onda Tres, mixing soft-pop with a touch of tropical-pastoral funk, singer-songwriter sweetened by the subtle perfume of Caribbean music and psychedelia.
These elements blended graciously, brimming with freshness, in a perfect partnership of sharp melodies with lyrics inspired by a genuine juvenile curiosity about life's mysteries, love and nature in their simplest forms.
The songs of Elia y Elizabeth remain among us as part of the most wonderful pop legacy of all time.
'AlegrÃa' and 'Ponte Bajo el Sol' are two of the most celebrated songs by the Colombian sisters.
A Tropical funk pop gem!
