AVENIDA LARCO

This record have been a little bit overrated, considering that it was recorded in the early eighties with an early seventies sound, and spanish rock songs were already common at that time- except in Peru were the audience is not exactly open minded- but don't get me wrong, this is a fine album, the lyrics are really good and some of their songs have a Beatle-ish feeling that gave them an extra charm (and I am not a Beatle fan), and still it's not a groundbreaking album, did not anounced a new era in music and definetly did not supose the beginning of a large discography as you can see. Why four stars then? well, the technical quality is remarcable, the lyrics were very intelligent, considering that many songwriters have done vulgar cheesy songs talking about night life (¨Avenida Larco¨)or social injustice (´Caiman´), and we can hear five musicians that were more concerned to use their skills in favor of the songs they are playing instead of their egos.This might not be a Must Have Record but is a Worth Album.
