1985: Doble Estallido de Minitecas

Litoral vs. Caracas — the great inter-state final

On Friday, May 10, 1985, in the Año Internacional de la Juventud, the Sindicato de Radio y TV and the F.C.U. brought together at El Poliedro the best minitecas of the Litoral and of Caracas for a great inter-state final.

What is on record (according to the original poster)

· Event: “Doble Estallido de Minitecas” — a competition between the best of the Litoral and of Caracas for the great inter-state final.
· Framing: “En el Año Internacional de la Juventud” (in the International Youth Year) → 1985.
· Organizers: the Sindicato de Radio y TV and the Secretaría General of the F.C.U. (Federación de Centros Universitarios).
· Venue: El Poliedro de Caracas.
· Date and time: Friday, May 10, 1985, 8:00 pm.
· General admission: Bs. 50 (for young people over 14).

The bill

The poster closes the bill with the dance crews Amazonas and Breakers de Venezuela. Tickets were sold at the Secretaría General of the F.C.U. and at businesses in Caracas: Hechizero (Galería Bolívar, Sábana Grande), C.C. Los Chaguaramos, Metro Sante (Sábana Grande), Nueva Generación Musical (C.C. Cascacio), Souza Store (C.C. Los Ruices), Video Vox (Av. Casanova) and the Poliedro itself.

Note on spelling: the names are transcribed exactly as the poster prints them. In the Litoral, “Souna Crazy” could be a printed variant of Miniteca Sound Crazy (documented at the Explosión at Naciones Unidas of the same year); they are not merged without confirmation. “Stereo Teca” is the same brand recorded here as Stereoteka.

· Caracas (9): Savannah · New Way · Satisfaction · Fahrenheit · Stereo Teca · Mad Beast · Tortuga · Ambitus · Crazy.
· Litoral (4): Kisses Acetatos · Souna Crazy · Easy Night · Roctura.
· Guests (4): T. Conection (Barquisimeto) · Infierno (Valencia) · Best Music (Puerto La Cruz) · Lightnigh (Miranda state).

Two different events of 1985

This “Doble Estallido” (El Poliedro; Sindicato de Radio y TV / F.C.U.) is distinct from the “Explosión de Minitecas del Parque Naciones Unidas” of October 19, 1985 won by ZC (a different venue and a different organizer). Both belong to 1985.

The primary high-resolution poster establishes the date (Friday, May 10, 1985) and the full bill. Still to be documented are the winner and the contest's panel of judges. If you keep the program, photographs of the night, or remember the result, the MiniTK Archive will include it with credit.
