Los Teddy\u2019s were natives of the Peruvian Amazon region of Iquitos. The band was created in 1966 and started to play the early-afternoon slots at Lima\u2019s venues, along with a bunch of other bands from Peru\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n
Tony Marin, frontman of the band, was soon nicknamed \u201cthe barefoot singer\u201d following his habit of not wearing shoes at any of their gigs. The other members were Willy Angulo (guitar), Markov Rios (guitar), Pepe Castro (drums) and Carlos Denegri (bass).<\/p>\n
After a few years being one of the most solid groups in the Lima\u2019s scene, MAG signed them to record an LP that was finally released in 1968. As in many other similar albums recorded at that time by Latinamerican bands, the tracklist contains covers of international chart-hits of the year, including songs by The Rolling Stones or The Doors (an outstanding take on \u2018Hello I Love You\u2019 with Spanish lyrics and raw fuzz guitars\u2026). The lysergic original \u2018Efectos (Effects)\u2019 is also one of the strongest tracks of the album, proving there was much more than just standard covers in this band\u2019s repertoire.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoce Psico\u00e9xitos\u201d remains as the only album ever released by Los Teddy\u2019s and an essential addition to any collection of raw guitar sounds from late \u201860s Peru, a fascinating scene that is currently being rediscovered by so many garage\/beat fans from around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Natives of the Peruvian Amazon region of Iquitos, Los Teddy\u2019s recorded for their only LP a combination of the current chart-hits and their own songs, with that raw and psychedelic sound so common in late 60s Peru. It includes the version of The Doors\u2019 ‘Hello I Love You’ as well as the lysergic original \u2018Effects\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":55734,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[62,164,167,193],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-55737","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-60s-en","7":"product_cat-beat-en","8":"product_cat-garage-en","9":"product_cat-latin-en","10":"product_shipping_class-lp-lp-7-lp-cd","11":"pa_formato-lp-en","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/55737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=55737"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=55737"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=55737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
