Aguaturbia’s second LP Volumen 2 (1970) is an essential album to understand the construction of what is known today as Chilean rock. The album is as raw and dynamic as their debut LP, featuring even heavier rhythms, distortion, and exceptional phased female vocals reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane. Comparisons with the Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish and Led Zeppelin can be drawn. Splendid heavy psych and proto-stoner tracks make this album a pioneer recording in the history of South American rock. Aguaturbia’s debut album was originally released in 1970 and showcases one of South America’s most significant psychedelic bands from the late ’60s and early ’70s. In July that same year the band recorded this Volumen 2 that delivers even heavier intensity than their debut LP. The LP showcases breathtaking moments, like the psych-blues “Heartbreaker” or “I Wonder Who” where guitarist Carlos Corales shines. When he played solos at the gigs, the effect on the audience was silence and euphoria at the same time. In fact, Carlos Corales (guitar) and Willy Cavada (drums) were both professional musicians who had made a previous career in rock and roll bands. Controversy accompanies the release of the album once again. In this case the cover artwork, a tribute to Salvador Dalí, scandalizes the most conservative sector of Chilean society.
