Testa Barbada - Rastros (2017)

The one and only album from this band from Peru.

The band was a seven piece big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute and vocals.

I know next to nothing about this band. I therefore have to go on what I have found online. Which is next to nothing.

It is pretty rare to find new prog bands from Peru these days as this genre has been in a bit in decline in Peru since the 1970s. 

Testa Barbada gives us forty minutes of a mix of psych rock and art rock. Add in some Latin folk rock and hard rock too and you get my drift. 

The music is both dynamic and pretty melodic. The vocals is pretty good and the band does a good job on some pretty decent to good songs.

The sound is surprisingly good and the band has obviously spent some good resources on getting this very good sound.

This album is forty minutes long and it is an album somewhere between decent and good. It is an album the band should be very satisifed with and an album well worth checking out.
