Vía Láctea

Vía Láctea was a band from the 1970s Mexican underground that could be contextualized as cosmic music. It was led by Carlos Alvarado and Miguel Angel Nava. The music featured classic synthesizer excursions strongly influenced by Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, more discreet and quiet, restrained and Ambient-like, with sometimes Ethnic / Prehispanic influences. After the first album, Miguel Angel Nava left the band, leaving Alvarado as the sole member. He continued to release albums, sometimes helped by fellow experimentalists Jorge Reyes, Arturo Meza, and others.
