ELSI - Cat No: ELSI07
- updated:2026-07-02
"Marimba Do Mar," a Balearic anthem that has lost none of its luster even after 40 years, is being reissued! Released in 1986 by ROBERTO LODOLA, a pioneer of Italian Balearic and Afro-funk. A sentimental dance track set by the sea, where warm percussion blends with melancholic vocals and saxophone! The original is hard to find, and the distributor’s stock of this reissue is already sold out. Don’t miss this opportunity.
Track List
Distributed by Berlin Maniac’s 〈SOUND METAPHORS〉, 〈ELSI〉 is being reissued to commemorate its 40th anniversary! In addition to the Balearic classic “Marimba Do Mar” by ROBERTO LODOLA—known for being edited and remixed by COS/MES and KZA (FORCE OF NATURE)—the release features the 2014 rediscovery of the original tape and his own reconstruction of the masterpiece “Feeling Of The Sun (Vocal Mix)—which was unearthed from the original tape in 2014 and reconstructed by the artist himself—as well as the Balearic breakbeat track “Marty’s Beach,” featuring elegant piano riffs and saxophone by longtime collaborator ALESSANDRO BERTOZZI. This deluxe compilation brings together popular Roberto Lodola tracks that were not included on the original release! (Original Japanese text by Akie)
