Background notes
Archive material and source history
YESDI formed in Bogotá, Colombia in 1967, with an early lineup that included Pepe Aché on vocals and guitar, Jaime Llano on bass, Carlos Restrepo on drums, and Rodrigo García on keyboards. They were playing rock and roll at a time when Colombian music was mostly salsa and cumbia, which meant they faced some resistance from the more conservative parts of the establishment.
In 1970 they released the song "Mentira," which became an immediate hit despite, or perhaps because of, its frank lyrics about infidelity and heartbreak. Written by Aché, the track felt scandalous to some listeners but clearly connected with many others who recognized the feeling.
They put out a string of albums through the 1970s and into the 1980s, including "YESDI" in 1970, "El Pez" in 1971, "YehsdÍ" in 1973, "Eclipse" in 1975, "Los Días de la Hierba" in 1978, and "Tiempo de Cambio" in 1984. The band's personnel shifted over those years, with guitarists like Edgar Holguín joining at different points.
