Reissue, originally released in 1971. In 1970, after four fantastic singles under the name New Juggler Sound, the Peruvian band formed by Saúl Cornejo (guitar), David Levene (lead guitar), Ernesto Samané (bass), Carlos Salom (organ), and Manuel Cornejo (drums) changed their name to Laghonia and recorded their debut LP Glue for the MAG label. It was an album influenced by the British rock of the era to which they added fiery guitars full of fuzz and wah-wah, the omnipresent and hypnotic Hammond organ sound and Latin American percussion and rhythms. A perfect mix of the British beat melodies of the mid-60s, Jimmy Hendrix's intense rock, Cream's heavy blues and Santana's Latin rock. Laghonia returned to the studio in 1971 to record a new LP for MAG. Packaged in a clearly psychedelic gatefold sleeve designed by the band's drummer, Manuel Cornejo, Etcétera shares all the elements of the first LP although on this occasion the compositions, while keeping their immediacy and featuring strong melodies and choruses, have a more complex structure, ranging from psychedelia to progressive rock through superb dark King Crimson-esque passages and shining moments of pastoral folk. 180 gram vinyl LP in tip-on jacket, includes bonus 7" single and insert with liner notes.
