Arriving in Spain from Colombia in the early 70s. Elkin (Javier Marin Velez), with his brother Nelson (Leon Marin Velez), established themselves on the Spanish music scene. Fusing hot Latin songs with influences from James Brown, Santana, Afro-Cuban and Jazz-Funk, success in Spain and Latin America saw many number one albums including ‘Jibaro’. Thanks to the 88-89 Ibiza Balearic scene, DJs such as Paul Oakenfold and Pete Tong re-discovered ‘Jibaro’ lifting it to anthemic status – with Paul Oakenfold (& John Rocca) covering it as ‘Electra’. Elkin & Nelson also performed on some of the biggest hits with The Gibson Brothers – ‘Cuba’, ‘Que Sera Mi Vida’ and ‘Ooh! What A Life’. Elkin is now based in Mumbai (Bollywood), India. 'Jibaro' first Appeared On The ‘Angeles Y Demonios’ Album In 1974. 'Jibaro' was un-necessarily re-edited (if you can call it that) by Beatconductor on Spicy Records, 2008. No credit was given to Elkin & Nelson. I hate it when people do that...
