This is a new opportunity for collectors, reviewers, and nostalgics! But not only....

32 years after the first edition of the cassette by LF-Koop in 1986, Vinilkosmo launches a new digital release completely remasterized from the rock band Amplifiki’s first rock album. After more than 3 years of effort and work, we unabashedly present this vital masterpiece.

Amplifiki was at the time the star band during the international gatherings of the Esperanto youth. Across Europe, the impact of their pure rock-and-roll music with shades of the blues was adopted by their public, setting Amplifiki as an icon of the Esperanto rock movement. In this digital album you can find milestone titles such as "Sed tute ne gravas", "Domo en Bonn", "Brava bardo", "Ruĝo kaj blu'", "IS", and the unforgettable "Sola", writted and sung by Kimo, a title that all the young Esperanto speakers from around the world know and sing together. It is worth noting that it reappeared in Esperanto Desperado’s first CD, BroKantaĵoj.

This exceptional opportunity to plunge back into the origins of the Esperanto rock by means of this renewed version (the same music with new clothes) will greatly refresh your life, and you will no longer be able to ignore this valuable work.
