La Paz Del Freak - (3:25) 105 BPM
Guajiro - (3:29)
110 BPM Review: Names You Can Trust's recent interest in all things Hispanic has proved particularly fruitful, and has possibly reached its peak with the self-proclaimed 'psychedelic salsa' collective, La Mencanica Popular. Their trippy sound is entrenched in 1970s salsa dura, but more otherworldly; "Paz Del Freak' sounds like a crazy 1960s Mexican film soundtrack, recorded at an open air cinema whilst aliens are overheard listening in, while "Guajiro" on the other hand is a spacey salsa semi-instrumental drowned in radio interference and feedback.
