Olindo Records and Música Infinita proudly introduce 'Discomoda Salsa de Venezuela 1964​-​1977,' a compilation that brings together some of the most electrifying salsa tracks from the trailblazing Venezuelan record label, Discomoda. Curated by Olindo co-founder Miguel Colmenares, the compilation reunites many of Venezuela’s most influential artists from the 60s and 70s, including Ray Perez’ Los Kenya, Los Satélites, and Los Megatones de Lucho.

Founded in 1948 by César Roldán, Discomoda stands as one of Venezuela's earliest record labels and holds the distinction of being the oldest family-operated label in the country. Boasting one of the most comprehensive collections of folkloric and popular music in Venezuela, the label also invested heavily in the Afro-Caribbean and tropical rhythms that gained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s.

During the 1960s, before the salsa era gained full momentum, Venezuela experienced a notable dance orchestra and big band movement. In contrast to local record competitors focused on promoting foreign productions, Discomoda secured its leading position by recording the most significant national bands. This included renowned groups such as Los Megatones de Lucho, Orquesta Sonoramica, and Super Combo Los Tropicales, all of whom are featured in this compilation.
