Artist: Los Relampagos
Song: "La Leyenda del Beso"
[ listen ]
Here's another terrific record I took home after trading in a bunch of vinyl at Jive Time last weekend—this one featuring Spanish instrumental rock reportedly influenced by Johnny and the Hurricanes. El relampago means "lightning" in Spanish, but according to Wikipedia's English translation, this group was at one time known as Dick and Lightning (!). In any case, Ricardo, Pablo, Ignacio, José Luis, and Juan Jose formed Los Relampagos in 1961, they disbanded in 1972, and then they got back together again and released a new record in 2001. This self-titled LP was released in 1965. You can read more about Los Relampagos on Wikipedia in Spanish here, in English here, and the Spanish-language liner notes are included below.
