I had to add this cause I’ve listened to this album about 20times in the last 2days-the second track about 30times over again. Maybe if I’m lucky Santa will bring me the “Real” LP for Xmas
TRAFFIC SOUND – “LUX”
THE FACTS:Info found From Prog Archives
1968 started a very turbulent decade in Perú, the democratic Government was interrupted by a Military Ultra Nationalist Dictator, who clearly stated that Rock was a dangerous Yankee influence against our ancestral inheritance and for that reason considered a poison.
Most radio stations were in hands of friends of the Government that captured all the media and Rock stations were harassed, I don’t pretend to give a lecture on Peruvian contemporary history, but I believe it’s important to describe all what this guys had to live while creating great music.
One year before the Revolution (Pompous name for a simple uprising of the militarism), in 1967, the brothers José and Freddy Rizo Patrón (Lead and rhythm guitar) left their former band “LOS HANG TENS” along with the vocalist and ex-classmate Manuel Sanguinetti with whom they decided to create a professional Rock band.
Their first dream was to become the most influential Peruvian Rock band and if possible make a contract in USA to gain international fame, but they alone weren’t enough for that task
