Los Jaivas (El Volantn) is the first LP by Chilean rock band Los Jaivas, one of South America\’s biggest names in the fusion of folk roots and psychedelia during the 1970s. Los Jaivas were born in the city of Via del Mar, with their five members determined to guide their initial sound through improvisation and experimentation, trusting that in time a language would emerge that would give us our identity, in their own words. This debut album (popularly known as El Volantn – The Kite -, because of its cover illustration) combined the free-flow of extended electrical pieces with more conventional three-minute songs filled with references to Chile\’s popular culture and the musicians own upbringing. Theirs was a solitary path, not just for the band but also for the beginnings of Chilean rock. Los Jaivas blazed a trail that was rich in musical references, with ideas inspired by Jimi Hendrix, the Congolese Missa Luba, Argentinian folk (Atahualpa Yupanqui, Ariel Ramrez), South American avant-garde composers (Ginastera, Villa-Lobos, Violeta Parra), the experimentation of pianist Henry Cowell, Caribbean rhythms and Miles Davis trumpet re-inventions.
