"Matasuna Records" takes another musical journey to "Miami", Florida, to spotlight the local band "Adam's Apple". Back in 1975, the independent label "Sound Triangle Records" issued a 7inch single featuring two of their songs: the ballad "Miami Para Mi" and the upbeat Latin/Salsa Funk cut "La Inflación De Ofelia". Now, this tune returns on 7inch vinyl for the first time, paired with an instrumental version that strips it down to its pure, funky essence. Written by Miami-based musician and songwriter "Eddie Elmer" - who also penned the Latin funk gem "Harina de Maiz" for "Los Sobrinos del Juez," reissued by Matasuna in 2019. This new release uncovers another hidden treasure from Miami's vibrant music scene. Don't miss out!

The band "Adam's Apple" was founded in Miami in the early 1970s by "César Izaguirre" and "Jorge Devera". Both had previously played with conga player and singer "Lina Arguelles" in the group "2+1", and she also joined the new band, along with other local musicians. In 1971, the group debuted the song "Miami Para Mi" (composed by "Titti Soto") at the "Miami-Dade Auditorium". This song would later become a staple of Adam's Apple's live repertoire.

Adam's Apple released on "Sound Triangle Records", an independent Miami label founded in the 1970s by "Manuel J. Mato". The label played an important role in the growing Latin American music scene in South Florida, providing a platform for many young Cuban-American bands. Spanning Latin rock, funk, soul, salsa and Caribbean sounds, its releases are both authentic snapshots of the era and sought-after collector's items.

This includes the 1975 single feat. "La Inflación De Ofelia & Miami Para Mi". "La Inflación De Ofelia" was written by "Eddie Elmer" (born "Elmer Rodríguez"), a musician and composer who was also active in the band "Los Sobrinos del Juez". His compositions are instantly recognisable for their blend of crisp drum breaks, funky bass lines, wah-wah guitars, frenetic organ interludes and infectious Latin flavors. This track offers a distinctive 1970s Miami sound, blending Latin rhythms with soul and funk.

Although the band's founders are no longer active as musicians, "Lina Arguelles" continues to play with her band "Lina & Legends 5".
