A couple of things happened today that made me feel compelled to produce this post. We had our first visitor from Peru since I start tracking such things six months ago, and then our Portuguese desk alerted to me to an excellent post on Bandcamp that leads off with a couple of the big names of Peruvian psychedelia, Laghonia and Traffic Sound (the latter having also been featured here a few times over the years).
So, inspired by these two events, here is some more Peruvian psych and pop from the same sort of era, starting with one of the most endearingly bonkers things I have ever heard.
"Betty Boom-Little Monster-Doggie And Peggie At The Witches Castle" - The (St. Thomas) Pepper Smelter
"Tomalo O Dejalo" - Los Pakines
"I Lost A Game" - Cerro Verde
"Estoy Brillando" - Fe 69
"Ozzy" - We All Together
More on the Peruvian theme, I feel the need to tell you that I have not one but three items of Peruvian headgear (ie purchased in Peru, but not by me)
ReplyDeleteDo you wear all three of them at the same time?
ReplyDelete...there is a rather fetching orange one that I am forbidden to wear in public by my partner
