| After 18 years of playing, Los Venturas have marked their spot in the international scene of instrumental guitar music called 'surf music'. That label however is too small for what the band brings its crowd: there's exotica, balkan, ska, soul, rock 'n roll... Some have already uniquely labelled it 'world surf music'. The band itself rather sticks with 'penetrating guitar instrumentals'. Their many years of writing music can be heard on 7 albums/singles that were released from 2001 on: Sharkfest, Aloha Summer, Surfers Brew, Besame Mucho, Kaleydoskop, Paisley Beach & Miles High. The last 3 albums were recorded and produced in Los Angeles by Pete Curry (Los Straitjackets, Jon & The Nightriders) and released via Green Cookie Records. This fall Green Cookie records and Los Venturas proudly present their 4th cooperation: "Playtime!". Unlike the previous albums, this one is 100% made in Belgium: recorded at Nico Leonard's Pum Pum Hotel in Charleroi, mixed at Great Oak Studios by Steven Van Gelder and produced by Sam Pieter Janssens. |
