traffic sound (tibet's suzettes)

Recorded in 1970, this self-titled album (sometimes called "Tibet's Suzettes" after the excellent title track), is a unique mixture of psychedelia and Andean folk music and the third (and perhaps finest) album by this legendary Peruvian psych band. It remains one of the rarest and most sought after in the whole panorama of Latin music. Their songs, all sung in English, give rare insight into the Peruvian youth culture of the early seventies and their sound, a mix of psych guitar and woodwinds, leans into progressive territory.
