First ever vinyl reissue of the ethereal 1983 album by Uruguayan female trio Travesia.
A new title in the series of full-album reissues that Vampisoul is releasing (co-produced in collaboration with Little Butterfly Records) as a valuable addition to our largely acclaimed compilation "América Invertida", focusing on the obscure leftfield pop and experimental folk scene from '80s Uruguay, making some of these elusive and essential albums available again. This only album (1983) released by all-female trio, Travesía, an essential asset of the effervescent scene of experimental Uruguayan artists who at the time mixed folklore, the avant-garde and pop under the influence of bossa nova and tropicalia. In 1981, Estela Magnone, Mariana Ingold and Mayra Hugo embarked on an unprecedented project at that time for Uruguayan music: a female trio where all the voices, instruments and arrangements were performed by its members. Following a short studio time with Travesía, Uruguayan music star Jaime Roos had convinced the heads of the Ayuí label of the group's quality and potential and offered himself to act as artistic producer of their debut album. The minimalist instrumentation highlighted the trio's complex and ethereal vocal arrangements resulting in a beautiful album, released almost forty years ago but that could have been made yesterday. Perfect listening for fans of the ethereal pop by artists like Antena or Les Disques Du Crépuscule's sound and lovers of vocal harmonies in the tradition of bands like Free Design. Travesía's members Mariana Ingold and Estela Magnone would later release outstanding solo albums that have also become very much in-demand in recent times. "Ni Un Minuto Más de Dolor" is reissued here on vinyl for the first time, in its original artwork (plus OBI) and including an insert with liner notes by the Uruguayan music journalist Andrés Torrón.
