It was hard to pick only one tune by El Polen to post. If you like the trance-like qualities of such tunes as Traffics Mr. Fantasy, or, to cite a modern example, Spiritualizeds Ladies and Gentlemen Were Floating In Space, you might dig this. Peruvian folk-rock from the early 70s. Incan flute and stringed instruments, indigenous rhythms, and psychedelic flourishes. There are some exciting, suspenseful moments, like at 1:28 when the fiddle comes in, and the instrumental segment that begins building at 3:05 and finishes in a two-step that almost sounds Appalachian. Argentine rock icon Gustavo Santaolalla (who scored Broke Back Mountain and won a Grammy) told me, Man, there was one group, El Polen, that was amazing -- doing some of the same things we were doing. If I could only find their records, I would give I dont know what ... Pretty good endorsement there. Check out his group, Arco Iris, also, if you like this. https://youtube/watch?v=Uo338ZF_t_E
