Dive into the revolutionary Latin rock vibes of Traffic Sound with their 1970 masterpiece, "Virgin." This iconic album marked a turning point for the band, fusing psychedelia, hard rock, and a touch of progressive rock with a distinct Latin flavor.

The self-written tracks, notably the anthem 'Meshkalina' with nods to local culture, showcased the band's unique blend of influences.

The album is described as the band's greatest achievement, capturing the essence of their musical and existential outlook.

Recorded by youthful members barely 20 years old, the album reflects the non-conformist, profound, and occasionally otherworldly spirit that characterized the youth in Lima during the late 60s.

The influence of Anglo-Saxon psychedelia is evident, representing a defiance against the prevailing conservative traditions of the city.It exhibits the bold and free spirit of late 60s pop music, drawing inspiration from post-Sgt.

Pepper's rock and Peruvian psychedelia. The lyrics, predominantly in English, emphasize the youthful desire t o break free and search for answers in both the real world and the hidden corners of a stimulated mind.

The album was a gateway to a more pedestrian future, where Latin music exerted greater influence, and individual egos re-emerged in the wake of hippy collectivism.

"Virgin" set a high standard in Peruvian rock in the early 1970s, showcasing Traffic Sound's musical prowess and leaving a lasting impact on the country's music scene.

Despite releasing two more albums in the following years, "Virgin" remained the band's bestselling record, continuing to resonate with audiences even years after its initial release.

This new reissue includes extensive liner notes and the original artwork on tip-on gatefold sleeve.
