Paco Y Su Combo / Traffic Sound (Splatter Color) Zambrano – Meshkalina / Meshkalina

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. A perfect DJ tool! 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! 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. A perfect DJ tool!
