Siglo Cero – Latinoamérica 1970 (Colombia, Psychedelic-Progressive-Jazz Rock)

A rock band formed in Bogotá in 1969. They released their only album on the Zodiaco label in 1970, which was recorded live on June 27 of that year during a performance in the National Park of the Colombian capital in front of 10,000 people.Humberto Monroy formed the band in 1969 with Roberto Fiorilli, Fernando Córdoba, and Ferby Fernandez. The lineup changed continuously, with members including Jaime Rodriguez, Edgar Restrego, Manuel Galindo, Mario Rene, Margalida Castro, and others. Their concerts consisted of long jam sessions where the members developed their improvisations. The band disbanded in 1970.

This recording is Siglo Cero's only release and has a story to tell. On June 27, 1970, the group participated in the Festival de la Vida (Festival of Life) at the National Park. The idea was to record the performance for an album, but due to technical problems, they were unable to do so. The band members decided to record it in a studio, but some bright spark included the recorded screams of the festival audience. The result was an unforgivable decrease in the sound quality of the recording. Even so, we can appreciate what Siglo Cero was capable of: a long, psychedelic jam where its members unleashed their full potential.
