Various Artists - La Contra Ola Synth Pop & Post Punk From Spain 1

La Contra Ola, the cult compilation showcasing the treasures of Spain’s 1980s synth wave and post-punk scenes, is finally back in stock on Les Disques Bongo Joe.
Originally released in 2018, this anthology quickly became a must-have for fans of analog sounds and avant-garde music, capturing a period of raw creativity and cultural upheaval in post-dictatorship Spain.
This compilation pays tribute to visionary artists like Aviador Dro, Esplendor Geométrico, and Derribos Arias, who redefined the boundaries of punk and
electronic music with a DIY aesthetic and unmatched intensity. With industrial rhythms, synthetic experiments, and minimalist melodies, La Contra Ola immerses listeners in the vibrant underground of 1980s Spain—a scene where artistic expression flourished after decades of censorship.
This reissue celebrates the legacy of these pioneers and their lasting influence on contemporary electronic and post-punk music. Whether you’re discovering this gem for the first time or you’re a longtime fan, La Contra Ola remains an essential work, standing at the crossroads of musical history and counterculture.
