Pp's
Compiled By Elpalmas & El Dragon Criollo
This compilation recovers the memory of a very important moment for Venezuelan pop music. The appearance of PP'S (the acronym for Pedro Pérez Show, an original name that highlighted the leadership of the creator of an unexpected new wave scene in Venezuela) produced an explosion whose echo later resonated with the birth of a handful of bands that also renewed the country's musical panorama, in tune with what sounded strong in the Anglo market in those effervescent '80s (punk, post-punk, ska, even the funk that had expanded in the previous decade): Sentimiento Muerto, La Seguridad Nacional, Desorden Público, Caramelos De Cianuro, Los Amigos Invisibles (who recorded a cover of 'Yo Soy Así,' a PP'S song, on their cover album 'Super Pop Venezuela' from 2005). PP'S recorded three albums in the '80s: 'PP'S' (1981), 'En El Aire' (1982) and 'Tercera Guerra Mundial' (1984), all with a clear pattern: putting the body in motion. It is music connected to its time that invites you to dance and listen to today, it builds a bridge to the past while opening a path to the future because PP'S is still in action. This compilation contains six songs from the first album, two from the second and three from the third.
