Hippie community, what a passion. @ALFAMA, this one seems to be a mix between Reverend Jim Jones, Howlin' Wolf, and Charles Bukowski.

Zendik - Zendik (Zendik Soundz, 1998)
Wulf Zendik (1920-1999) was an American author, poet, musician, environmentalist, and bohemian. Part of the hippie culture, Zendik founded the community of the same name (also known as Zendik Arts Farm) in various locations across the American continent: Florida, Southern California, Texas, North Carolina, and West Virginia. An experience that continued even after his death, it was born with the aim of promoting the arts and embracing an environmentally respectful lifestyle. One of the main experiences in the history of the American hippie movement, the community had a broadcast on television networks and adopted the slogan, "Stop Bitching, Start A Revolution." I don't know the whole story well, but from what I've gathered, there have been some troubles and scandals involving the community for various reasons in recent years, and I’m not sure if it still exists. Anyway... Anyway, the fact is that Wulf Zendik was truly an interesting artist. At least when it comes to music and this album recorded between the late sixties and early seventies (completed in 1972, but I don't know much about what the first release might have been) in which Zendik also plays an eight-string instrument of his own invention. "Zendik" is an album composed of seven tracks where, ten years before the Suicide, Zendik proposes hallucinatory garage blues sounds and performs a series of rituals somewhere between Jim Morrison and Alan Vega. Accompanied by minimal but compulsive percussion, powerful vibrations from the bass, and acid guitars and synthesizers sounding in a repetitive manner creating a precursor of drone atmospheres, Zendik's interpretations are morbid gospels, infected with blues virality and vibrating as if shaken by delirium tremens. Absolutely impressive is "Jewelsand Things," where he uses tricks from an experienced bluesman and employs his voice accompanied by the guitar sound that changes tuning just like the tone of his voice, creating an incredible hypnotic effect. He was practically a shaman who knew how to express the torment of his demons and manipulate the forces of nature.
