Bandolero

Description:

The only album released by Bandolero, a Puerto Rican heavy psychedelic band, in 1970 is now available for the first time on CD. This is a masterpiece of Latin heavy psychedelic rock, with intensely distorted fuzz guitars, swirling organs, tight and heavy drums and percussion, and a bass that moves around energetically. The lyrics are half in English and half in Latin, and there are glimpses of early Santana's influence, especially in the wild and sensational Latin-language numbers. The sad melodies characteristic of Latin are best matched with a blue-eyed soul voice similar to Felix Cavalier's (Rascals). The heavier guitars and organ sounds remind us of British bands of the same era, such as Spooky Tooth. VIVID SOUND
