"1972 was the year of El Polen, the first Andean Psychedelic Rock group ever. Their first LP was the soundtrack of an European movie, "El Cholo", based on the life of the Peruvian soccer player Hugo Sotil. Their music was a mixture of native nstruments,quenas and antaras, with traditional rock instrumentation, creating a unique style where violins sounded like fuzz guitars. El Polen recorded another LP, "Fuera de la Ciudad" in the year 1973, continuing with their pioneering style".
