Born in the culturally rich city of Arequipa, Los Texao's journey to stardom was paved with innovation, passion, and an undeniable connection to their roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir music fused the energy of psychedelic rock with Latin American influences, captivating audiences across their native Peru. Formed in 1969, the band took their name from Arequipa’s emblematic flower, the nasturtium, and made an immediate impact with their debut at a local band contest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoon after, they recorded their first 45 RPM single, which included covers of tracks by Chilean group \u003cem\u003eLos Beat 4\u003c\/em\u003e. But it was in the early 70s when Los Texao truly found their voice. With a dynamic lineup, including the talented Fernando \"Feño\" Humbser and Juan Núñez on guitar, Víctor Dibán on vocals and bass, and Edgar \"Chito\" Manrique on drums, their musical evolution began to take shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe addition of Julio Torres, a keyboardist and guitarist from the iconic bands \u003cem\u003eLos Beatniks\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLos Dig It\u003c\/em\u003e, further elevated their sound. Los Texao’s psychedelic phase was marked by experimentation with new sounds and instruments. They embraced the emerging trend of playing rock in English, despite the language barrier, and incorporated cutting-edge gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the help of the legendary Peruvian jazz musician Jaime Delgado Aparicio, they created hypnotic tracks like ‘Algún día’ and ‘Nunca cambias,’ capturing the essence of 70s rock with swirling textures and atmospheric vibes. But it wasn't just the melodies that set them apart – their electrifying rhythms and powerful arrangements, like those heard in ‘Stone’ and ‘La pelea del gobernador,’ showcased their refined musicianship and intense dedication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLos Texao quickly became a sensation in Peru, performing in cities like Puno, Moquegua, and Arica (Chile), and sharing stages with iconic bands like \u003cem\u003eLos Shain’s\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTraffic Sound\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eTelegraph Avenue\u003c\/em\u003e. Their infamous hit ‘La pelea del gobernador’ tells a tale of generational conflict and rebellious youth, captured in a live performance that still resonates with audiences today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe band's wild live shows became the stuff of legend, with fans packing into intimate venues to experience the raw energy of their loud, unapologetic rock. In addition to their 45s, Los Texao also recorded covers of some of the most influential rock bands of the era, including Cream, Steppenwolf, and The Guess Who, showcasing their versatility and love for classic rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, this session remained lost for years and some of these covers have never been available on vinyl before. Despite their growing success, Los Texao eventually disbanded in 1975 due to personal and professional challenges. But their legacy never faded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Munster","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51448317608267,"sku":"R1383-6067","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/p_5711e3c6-58f9-4a37-b8db-7ba636ff15d9.jpg?v=1741968274"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/los-texao.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
