It’s probably the greatest of all completely forgotten bands of the past. It’s not even Latin American. They’d released only 3 LP’s in the late 60’s-early 70’s: Self-Titled debut ’69, ‘If It’s So’ — 70 & ‘Together’ — 71. It’s the outfit everybody would’ve liked to see @ Woodstock ’69 & Isle of Wight ’70. Too hip for the hippies, too romantic for the chicks — it’s one of the reasons for its obscurity! Listen to tunes like “Let’s Make Each Other Happy”, “Together”, “If It’s So”, “Man”, “I Love You, Yes I Do”.

In Floyd terms — they were just ‘obscured by clouds’ too early!
