Traffic Sound - Yellow Sea Years 1968-1971 (1968-71 peruvian, stunning hard/psychedelic folk-rock - Compilation) Flac
Psychedelic and Prog Rock band from Peru.
Traffic Sound was a Peruvian rock band founded in 1967 by Manuel Sanguinetti (vocals), Freddy Rizo Patrón (rhythm guitar), Jean Pierre Magnet (sax), Willy Barclay (Willy "Wilito" Barclay) (lead guitar), Willy Thorne (bass) and Luis Nevares (Luis "Lucho" Nevares) (drums). Freddy and Manuel had met in school and played in Los Hang Ten's. Freddy and his older brother Jose originally thought of founding "Traffic Sound".
The name was chosen because of their penchant for a traffic light, placed as a souvenir in the attic of the Rizo-Patróns house, where they held their practices, after a wild night in Lima.
After a year of continued rehearsals and private shows they tried their luck at Peruvian psychedelic emporium The Tiffany with great success and recorded his first album "A Bailar Go Go" in 1968 with label MAG. It contained versions of songs by The Doors, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly and The Animals. In later albums they included their own music with a fusion of Andean and Afro-Latin sounds. They held gigs in Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
Their second album "Virgin" (1969), all original material, catapulted them to legendary status especially because it contains the absolute icon of Peruvian Psychedelia, "Meshkalina".
In 1970 they recorded another LP named "Traffic Sound", aka. III, aka. "Tibet's Suzettes", where they blend the Psychedelic spirit with an Andean folk sound, and give the necessary step to be closer than ever to progressive rock.
In 1971 Braniff International Airways organized the first South American Tour of a Peruvian band, and Traffic Sound was well received in demanding markets such as Argentina and Brazil.
After the tour they switched to bigger label Sono Radio and released four singles. At this point Willy Thorne left the band and was replaced by Zulu or (Miguel Angel Ruiz Orbegoso) on bass, with whom they recorded their last LP, "Lux". Incredibly, during a massive strike of Sono Radio workers the master tapes disappeared and were only found in 1996. This album is different to the previous, the Andean influence is more evident and some political concerns were expressed.
The band held a memorable concert at the Teatro Segura in Lima together with the Contemporary Orchestra of Peruvian jazz pianist Jaime Delgado Aparicio in 1971 and disbanded in 1972.
The first anthology of one of the most important South American bands of the 60's! With this double LP and CD (80 minutes!) discover the best recordings the band made from 1968 to 1971 for legendary labels Sono Radio and Mag. In "Yellow Sea Years" the evolution of the band can be fully traced from their roots in ACID BLUES-ROCK –born with Hendrix, Cream or Yardbirds– to solid LATIN-ROCK, complete with PSYCHEDELIC touches and folk inspiration.
And finally you get the idea that, had they not been a Peruvian band, TRAFFIC SOUND would NOT sounded like this. But it is also clear that if they had come from a more "developed" country, they could have been one of the best known and most admired bands of their time. In fact they ARE!

Excluir'A Bailar Go Go' was NOT the first album of Traffic Sound and it was NOT released in 1968.
ResponderExcluirThe six songs in that album were originally released as singles in 1968. 'Virgin', then, was their first album in 1969.
'A Bailar Go Go' was furiously compiled and released in 1971 by the owner of MAG. Carlos Manuel Guerrero after Traffic Sound moved to Sono Radio. The three boys in the cover of 'A Bailar Go Go' are Guerrero's sons.
