Vinilkosmo-kompil' Volumo 1

The first volume of Vinilkosmo-Kompil’ was released in March 1995, both in CDs and cassettes.

Vinilkosmo-Kompil’ is a collection that presents a wide range of styles in order to present Esperanto’s cultural wealth.
The project comprises two volumes, because there were too many propositions for only one. The second volume was released one year after the first.

EUROKKA received a lot of support for this project, and we want to especially thank FAME-Fondaĵo, SAT-Junulfako, the Prima de las Lengas (Spring Occitan Festival in Toulouse), the European Youth Foundation along with TEJO, whose specialist association EUROKKA is, and the Educational Foundation CARSON, which supported us specifically for the second volume.

15 artists and bands participated in this volume: Ĵomart kaj Nataŝa (Kazakhstan-Sweden), Ĵak Yvart (Dunkerque, France), Kajto (Friesland, Netherlands), Flávio Fonseca (Brasília, Brazil), La Mevo (Yokohama, Japan), Solo (Málaga, Spain), Amplifiki (Stockholm, Sweden), Persone (Stockholm, Sweden), La Rozmariaj Beboj (Les Rosemary’s Baby, with JoMo from Toulouse, France), Bruemaj Najbaroj (Noisy Neighbours, Toulouse, France), La Alburnoj (Les Ablettes, Funel, France), Piŝamandurjes (Pixamandúrries, La Bisbal, Catalonia, Spain), EV (Nantes, Britanny-Finland), Tutti Futti (Thionville, Lorraine, France), La Mondanoj (Berlin, Germany).
