Counting down to 60 years of the word “miniteca”
January 2027 marks six decades of the name that defined a movement. The Archive opens the commemorative year.
In January 1967, in Caracas, Víctor Morín gave the future its name: “miniteca.” With Los Muertos Andantes —a sound rig built on wooden coffins, black lights and a tube amplifier— was born the word that would baptise an entire phenomenon of mobile discotheques with identities of their own.
In January 2027 that word turns sixty, and the MiniTK Archive opens the commemorative year now: the founding history, the records of the two precursors —Los Muertos Andantes and La Caravana— and the documents behind every date are published and will keep growing toward the anniversary.
The debate over which of the two precursors rolled first remains open, and the Archive documents it without closing it falsely: they are the two mothers of the movement in Venezuela.
