about

El disco debut de Telegraph Avenue muestra el altísimo nivel alcanzado por el rock peruano en 1971, cuando grupos psicodélicos como Traffic Sound y Laghonia se estaban saliendo de la escena y Pax, Tarkus, El Polen y Zulu estaban tomando el relevo con sus nuevos proyectos.

Aunque este álbum se basa en fuentes similares de psicodelia y rock latino, sus raíces se entrelazan con la ruptura de Los Doltons, un grupo beat cuyo cantante, César Ichikawa, realizó un viaje a Estados Unidos a comienzos de 1969, asistiendo a conciertos de The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Santana y Jimi Hendrix entre muchos otros.

El disco fue un éxito inmediato y se agotó rápidamente en todo Perú gracias a las giras constantes de la banda fuera de Lima y a lo atractivo del diseño de su portada. Todas las canciones del álbum son tan buenas que se lanzaron también como singles.

-----------------------------------------------

Telegraph Avenue's debut album shows the highpoint Peruvian rock had reached by 1971, when psychedelic groups like Traffic Sound and Laghonia were bowing out of the scene, and Pax, Tarkus, El Polen and Zulu were picking up the baton with their new projects.

Although this album draws on similar psychedelia and Latin rock sources, its roots are intertwined with the breakup of Los Doltons, a beat band, whose vocalist, César Ichikawa, took a trip to the United States at the beginning of 1969, going to concerts by The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Santana and Jimi Hendrix among many others.

The album was an immediate hit and was sold all over Peru thanks to the band’s constant touring outside Lima and the LP’s striking cover design. All the songs on the album are so strong that were released as singles.
