The Minitecas TV channel has been documenting in its posts the encounters in Colombia between Tridimensión, the largest-scale Venezuelan miniteca, and Macro Efectus, the Cúcuta outfit founded by Pedro Neira — including Tridimensión's show in Cúcuta, right on the border.
Both protagonists have their history documented in the MiniTK Archive: Tridimensión with its international run, and Macro Efectus with the trajectory that goes from “Efectus” (1983) to its definitive name in 1986 and the retro parties it keeps up to this day.
The dates, stages and details of each encounter are under documentation — if you attended or keep material from those nights, this house integrates it with credit.
