Global A Go-Go presents:
Los Saicos released six furious, incendiary singles in 1965 and 1966. When they broke up, garage rock was just gaining steam in the USA and around the world, notably throughout Latin America.
Decades later, listeners realized that this obscure band from Lima, Peru had anticipated the punk rock movement. Now we’re getting the first proper release of the seventh Los Saicos single, from their brief 1969 reunion. I’ll spin the A side this week on Global A Go-Go, along with a whole set of garage rock en Espanol chestnuts.
Also this week (Monday September 28, 3:00-5:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): Mali’s veterans still in action, Cuban oddities, hair-raising Balkan sounds, the boss brass of Brazil’s north, and psychedelic Senegambia and a new band inspired by it.
