Peruvian rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Their music was a fusion of psychedelic rock, garage rock and surf; they were followed by bands like Los Yorks and Los Jaguares, Los Silvertons, The Belkings, Los Doltons, Los Shain and finally Traffic Sound (the latter the first Peruvian supergroup, merging the core players from both Los Hang Ten`s and Los Mads). |
 | | During the military dictatorship of the late 60s and 70s, rock was outcast as an alienating phenomenon by the government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado in various ways: banning concerts in key venues, banning the import of "alienating and Yankee" American rock music, and even banning a highly anticipated Carlos Santana concert. |
 | | During the late 70s and early 80s, rock was confined to the underground; with no radio and very few rock LPs to import, the current state of rock music, and the deep crisis that the country was suffering, Peruvian rockers looked for a way to channel their frustrations. |
