A cultish band who there at the dawn of psychedelic rock in Mexico and had a mind-bendingly beautiful sound full of revolutionary potential. In the late 60s when they formed and in the early 70s when this self-titled debut LP of theirs was released, the band were inspired by hippy counterculture and by politics. They're named after Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata whose influence still has a far-reaching influence today - the Zapatista social movement, with its far-left and anti-neoliberal ideology, takes its name from him. They were also at the forefront of La Onda (The Wave), a cultural and political movement that spawned Mexico's answer to Woodstock, Avandaro. Sonically, you can't get a better fit for a festival of that sort - you'll hear that they are quintessentially psych; loose and jangly with hip-shaking rhythms. Opener 'Nasty Sex' - their biggest international hit - works around a hypnotic riff and has a Cream-meets-surf rock tone; 'Shit City' cranks the free-spirited vibe up even further, while 'Platicas Con Un Rey' shows they could tackle a more pastoral psych sound, too. Few bands nail the true psychedelic rock sound this well.
