LA OFRENDA DE VYTAS BRENNER

The brainwave behind La Ofrenda de Vytas Brenner seems to have been the application of tried and tested techniques of mainstream progressive rock traditional Venezuelan musical forms. The inclusion of Jesús Chinchilla on both classical and Venezuelan percussion instruments sets the album apart from most "proggy folk with plenty of keyboards" attempts, whilst Vytas Brenner himself proves to have a delicate hand with the keyboards. It's a fascinating experiment which might not blow you away like the top-flight prog bands featured on this site, but is definitely worth a listen and is a good introduction to South American musical traditions not usually picked up on by prog bands from the era.
