After Avándaro: the black
hole of mexican rock |
|
The lost groups |
|
|
Setting aside the covers in
Spanish and singing covers in English, groups like the Dug Dug's
and the Tijuana Five began to appear with masterful interpretations,
identical to the English groups and original foreigners. If you
closed your eyes, it seemed that the Beatles, Doors, Kinks, Lovin'
Spoonful or any other group in fashion were onstage.
As a result, the new groups,
in addition to their faithful English-language covers, began
to write music and lyrics in English as well as in Spanish. And
the national inspiration began to unravel and proliferate the
groups. Next, we present an incomplete list of the groups that
came and went quickly and some that survived.
How many do you remember? What
songs does you know by these groups? |
