Formed in Valparaíso in 2003, the Chilean instrumental group KOIAK is one of the most intense examples of how well a mixture of rock-fusion and heavy progressive works when conviction is strong and imagination is wild.
It was indeed a live recording from a gig in Sala Musicámara (at the University of Valparaiso), in the evening of August 12th, 2004 (a similar approach was taken by FLOTANTE with their debut album, consisting of material gathered from two concerts).
Koiak is yet another living proof of the incredible potential of energy and warmth that Chile continually offers to the World of prog.
