DESCRIPTION
Traffic Sound’s ‘Meshkalina’ is a song with references to Incan culture which was heard all over Peru when
released in 1969. It combined psychedelia, a hint of progressive hard rock and a Latin tinge. It became an anthem of its time and was covered by Paco Zambrano y Su Combo shortly after, resulting an explosive Latin dancefloor hit!
Currently in high demand in the psych/garage collectors’ scene and played out in all major events by top psych DJs, this 7” comprises both versions for the first time.
It’s hard to choose between the two recordings of the huge psych-latin anthem ‘Meshkalina’ that were released in Peru in 1969. The Traffic Sound original was a big hit all over the country. The fierce guitars of the Peruvian band and Latin percussion sounds would be spiced with references to Incan culture. Then Paco Zambrano y Su Combo would record it again adding some extra Latin flavor resulting an explosive Latin dancefloor hit!
