Pasta Base is about Latin America. Is about caring our music, keeping our heritage alive.

Pasta Base is a new record label devoted exclusively to release psychedelic and contemporary music from Peru, Chile, Argentina and beyond. Although both, music lovers and record collectors from all over the world have experienced Latin America’s psychedelic from the 1960s and 1970s, different factors as marginality, poverty and mental illness have affected the diffusion of the new music beyond tiny, local and ephemeral Latin scenes.

Different from the past, the recordings of this music are not properly released: few tapes and cdr’s are the lonely and fragile evidence that documented the existence of several creative outfits and open minds.

Pasta Base is about respect. Is about to share this legacy with the music world in the supreme format: vinyl. Limited editions of selected cuts from this sublime and collective archive will be posted to your pleasure and knowledge. No formal limits, no predefine structures.

Just to share with you the spirit of love. Pasta Base wants to make this music and musicians visible for the world. The first Pasta Base edition will be a compilation of the Chilean psychedelic improv collective, La Bandas. Since 1993, La Bandas has offered an obscure and never ending source of mutant creativity.

Encompassing rock & roll, jazz, electronics and religious Chilean music, La Bandas’ members (Diego, Salmon and Alvaro) have achieved a unique approach to the sacred mantra.

For their first international release, La Bandas have selected jams recorded in different years, with diverse sound palettes.

Keep alert! End of transmissions. (for now!)
