Malon / Juan Carlos Caceres, Argentina


Rebellion. 1971 Philips (France)

Malón / Juan Carlos Caceres - El Camino Dale Negro. 1972 Philips (multiple countries, cover shown is from Spain)

Essentially at its core, El Camino Dale Negro is a Latin pop album in the grand Tropicalia tradition as would be more commonly found in Brazil during this period. Like Os Mutantes, Malon will on occasion conjure up the freaky underground with flipped guitar, echoed flute, droning organ and frenzied vocals. Elements of Los Jaivas, Bwana, Modulo 1000, and Santana all pop up here and there, for no other reason than to disturb your Corona advertised beach bliss. For this, we are grateful.

Haven't heard Rebellion yet but will get to it soon enough.
