Bandolero
Bandolero (trans-violet)
Released in 1970 on the short-lived Truth Records label, Bandolero stands as one of the rawest and most elusive artifacts of Puerto Rico's psychedelic underground. Eleven originals burst with searing fuzz guitar, swirling organ, and driving Latin percussion, a heady mix of heavy rhythm and acid-tinged atmosphere. From the hypnotic pulse of its slow burners to the storm of its wilder jams, the album captures a moment of pure creative freedom and unfiltered energy. Long out of print and whispered about for decades, this is a blazing return for a true Latin psych-rock classic.
