Bolivia is a live album by Argentinian jazz composer and saxophonist Gato Barbieri featuring performances recorded in New York in 1973 and first released on the Flying Dutchman label.[1][2]

Reception

In Creem magazine, Robert Christgau gave Bolivia an "A-" and said he liked it slightly better than Barbieri's other 1973 album Chapter One: Latin America "because I prefer Lonnie Liston Smith and Barbieri's other Afro-American sidemen to his less disciplined all-South American band."[3] The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "Ultimately, Bolivia is a sensual, musically adept, and groundbreaking recording, which offered Barbieri a chance to come in from the avant-garde before heading back to the fringes with the Latin America series. A fine effort that is finally getting the notoriety it deserves".[4]
